About the Journal
Welcome to the PhD Studies in Administrative and ICT Law website!
Our journal brings together two important areas of public law research. The interconnection and synergies between public administration and ICT have become dominant, even leading, issues in many fields.
The complex social, legal and economic problems and issues related to these topics, and the scientific analysis of these issues in the light of the accelerated pace of change worldwide, provide new opportunities for experts to interpret these issues and to formulate critical comments and proposals.
The aim of this journal is to provide young researchers in the first half of their academic careers with an opportunity to publish their ideas on these issues.
Current Issue
The latest issue of our journal focuses on timely questions of administrative and infocommunication law that are closely connected to the challenges of digital transformation, sustainability, energy infrastructure, and the legal treatment of digital assets. The studies examine a broad spectrum of contemporary regulatory dilemmas, ranging from women’s representation in climate change efforts in Indonesia, through the digitalisation of local legislation and its potential use cases in Hungary, to the legal and infrastructural aspects of a mysterious green energy project connected to the Black Sea, as well as the inheritance of cryptocurrencies and cryptowallet profiles.
The particular value of this issue lies in the fact that our Authors approach legal analysis not as an isolated doctrinal exercise, but in its broader social, technological, and institutional contexts. Questions of representation in climate policy participation, the digitalisation of municipal norms, the legal framework of strategically significant energy developments, and the challenges of arranging digital assets in the event of death all demonstrate that regulation in the field of administrative and infocommunication law must increasingly respond to cross-border, technologically complex, and socially sensitive phenomena.
On behalf of the Publisher, I would like to thank our Authors for their dedication, and the members of the Editorial Board and the reviewers for accepting our invitations and for their invaluable work. Special thanks are due to the colleagues of the South Transdanubian Regional Library and Knowledge Centre, whose support is indispensable for the publication of our journal.
I wish all readers a good professional "immersion"!
