The purpose of the research is to analyse the state and characteristics of the historiographical study of administrative justice development of as a means for the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in Ukraine in the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity and scientific systematicity. There have been used historical comparative, historical genetic, problem chronological, historiographical and systematic methods. Scientific novelty: the evolution of scholarly views on the development of administrative justice is traced, common and different approaches to its periodization are identified, and the main trends in research on the issue are determined. Conclusions. It has been determined that the contemporary historiography has generally formed a coherent understanding of the administrative justice development in Ukraine. The majority of scholars distinguish the pre-Soviet stage, associated with the functioning of administrative and judicial institutions within the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires; the period of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917 – 1921; the Soviet period; and the stage of independent Ukraine. It has been demonstrated that the origins of the administrative justice date back to the second half of the 19th century, when the first mechanisms of the judicial control over the administrative authorities began to emerge under the influence of the European legal models. The state-building processes of 1917 – 1921 played a particularly significant role in the administrative justice development, while the final stage of its institutionalisation was marked by the establishment of a system of the administrative courts following Ukraine’s independence and the adoption of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine in 2005. At the same time, it has been detrmined that the issues concerning the regional specificities of the administrative justice development, the influence of the European legal traditions on the Ukrainian model of administrative adjudication (proceedings), and the evolution of scholarly approaches to its role in the mechanism for protecting of human and civil rights and freedoms remain studied insufficiently.
Keywords: administrative justice, administrative adjudication, historiography, protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, administrative courts, judicial review, Ukraine, modern period.
