Mehrdimensionale Rechtsmaßstäbe als Herausforderung für die Verwaltung: das Beispiel der Hafenstaatkontrolle

Using the example of so-called port state control, the article examines the phenomenon of multidimensional legal norms and the challenges they pose for public administration. It shows how the gradual introduction of port state control has enabled public authorities to gain access to foreign-flagged ships and how this has subsequently differentiated their decision-making program. The illustrative material for this historicizing study comes primarily from the 19th and 20th centuries.
