Administracja współpracująca a stanowienie prawa miejscowego

Cooperation in public administration, as a form of entering into relations with other subjects, may have many forms: it may include cooperation between administrative organs as well as between the public administration and external entities and take different procedural forms. The subject of the following article is an analysis of various possible forms of cooperation of public administration in the procedure of lawmaking of local law, meaning a widely understood legislative cooperation. Taken into consideration were both aspects connected with the public administration cooperation with external entities (legislative initiative, consultations, opinions) as well as the internal structure of the administration, defined as legislative cooperation (administrative agreement, communal unions, opinions, reconciliation, confirmation by another administrative organ). Administrative cooperation, including also lawmaking, is, as a rule, a positive occurrence which has a chance of improving the quality and efficiency of created law. Unfortunately, the current legal regulation of the forms of this cooperation is insufficient, which is illustrated by the examples given in the article.
