Eficacia y Alcance de las Acciones Populares en el Derecho Administrativo Colombiano

Abstract

The article provides a deep and multidimensional analysis of popular actions in the context of Administrative Law in Colombia. It begins with a review of the regulatory framework that governs popular actions, highlighting the 1991 Constitution and Law 1437 of 2011, and its subsequent development through reforms and new regulations. In a second chapter, the role of jurisprudence is analyzed, focusing on the key decisions of the Constitutional Court and the Council of State. In the third chapter, specific case studies in the environmental and public health fields are examined, and the theoretical and practical implications of these actions in the doctrine of Administrative Law and in government decision-making are detailed. The article concludes with a chapter of conclusions and recommendations, where the findings are summarized, key points are summarized, and recommendations for legal practice and future research are offered. These recommendations include the need to clarify certain legal aspects, improve implementation mechanisms, and conduct more studies that address the effectiveness and impact of popular actions. Some limitations of the study are also identified and lines for future research are proposed.
