Principles and nature of administrative concessions

Abstract

This paper aims to define and clarify the concept of concession regarding Administration. As with other legal terms, this concept is imprecise to express effectively the legal acts it pretends to address. In Chile, on the other hand, concessions and the acts related to it have been analyzed and executed from a state perspective, which gives too much power to Administration and which has been transmitted accordingly in the courses of administrative right. Part of this work focuses on explaining the concepts and their meanings properly, so as to revert the situation described. To do so, it is urgent to look into the principles of these concepts, and to remember the duty of respecting the Constitution as well as the law.
