This book indicates the shortcomings of the current international legal system and customary international norms that govern international aviation law to comply with contemporary air transport market realities. As the air transport market develops globally, the safety regime of civil aviation should also be governed and applied globally. In this book, the author departs from current international legal norms to examine the emerging legal field of global administrative law. Through that lens, the possibility of reconstructing the set of legal mechanisms that govern domestic and international administrative interaction in the global field of aviation safety is explored. This book demonstrates that a legal system is never complete but always develops in tandem with changing needs, i.e. the participation of the affected parties.
Exploring the principles of GAL theory contributes to addressing the contemporary legal issues relating to state compliance with international aviation safety standards that would otherwise not be covered by customary international law. In particular, the principles of GAL theory regarding global governance and the 'public' character of global regulations, the role of individuals and states in global governance, and state sovereignty are considered valuable contributions to contemporary global aviation safety issues in practice.
It is asserted in this book that proper checks and balances in global aviation safety can be improved by making these accessible to individuals by way of national courts. Finally, establishing public awareness of global aviation safety standards will eventually create greater pressure on states to implement and enforce them.
This book is in an area increasing academic and research interest of practitioners of public international aviation law, global administrative law, global governance, and global aviation safety, global air transport market regulations.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
There is no room for doubt that it should adorn any worthwhile library of a student and a practitioner of aviation law as it's objective and general principles can be applied to the SARPs of all nineteen Annexes to the Chicago Convention. In that context, as a work of creativity in the interpretation of legislative and regulatory philosophy, it is significant in value.

The book is certainly an excellent addition to the existing air law and public international law literature........ the author did a great job in taking a very original and innovative point of view in discussing the subject matter in the light of globalisation, administrative law, and human rights law

Nilgun Ozgur observed the individuals' remoteness in the state compliance system with civil aviation safety-related standards in the current international legal system. Rather than simply critiquing the current international legal system, the book contains an innovative approach and an analysis of alternative theories that address administrative law type mechanisms that would apply to govern global civil aviation safety.
The author is a dedicated legal profession to ensure the rule of law that promotes democracy and protects human rights is applied. She believes that gaining a perspective from life experience is essential for an author.
She has the experience of challenging where the governmental authority fails to apply the rule of law in its administrative decision that affects individuals' lives. As a woman with a legal profession, she has challenged the government's administrative decision to refuse health insurance coverage (IVF) treatment while working for the government. After seven years of legal debate, in 2003, she won the case, which led to a change law in Turkey that has affected many families' lives.
She has held administrative positions in a multinational and national work environment. Between 2006-2009 she had worked as a chief legal advisor for the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority, attended high level national and international administrative meetings and steered the legal department work internally. Her professional work experience in the national civil aviation administration led her to develop ideas and guided her academic research.
She has law degrees from respectful law schools from different countries and legal systems, which indicates knowledge of various legal systems, which improved her confidence in intercultural skills. She did his first law degree in LLB in Turkey. Afterwards, she obtained her LL.M. degrees in New York, USA, where she gained distinction. Finally, she received her PhD in Global Governance of Civil Aviation Safety at Kingston University, London, the United Kingdom, in 2020.
Dr Nilgun Ozgur is currently a visiting researcher at Leiden University Law School, International Air and Space Law Institute, in the Netherlands.
