Bearing in mind that "acts of government" are the original creation of the French law, the author of this paper first analyses the legal regime governing "the acts of government" as a legal institute envisaged in the French legislation throughout history until the present day. However, given the fact that the legislations of some other countries (such as England and Serbia) include a similar institute, the author points out that the qualification of certain administrative acts and acts of the administration as "the acts of government" is not merely a matter of historical coincidence but rather that it is deeply rooted in the nature of things. In that context, the author defines the legal nature of "the acts of government" and presents his original standpoint on the subjective public rights and the legal notion of politics as an exercise of absolute subjective public rights.
Key words: "acts of government", judicial review of legality, discretionary power, subjective public rights, legal notion of politics/policy

TAKOZVANI "AKTI VLADE" I PRAVNI POJAM POLITIKE
S obzirom da predstavljaju tvorevinu francuskoga prava, autor u radu najpre analizuje pravni režim "akata vlade" u francuskom pravu, kroz istoriju i danas. Međutim, kako sličan institut poznaju i prava drugih država, na primerima engleskog i srpskog prava, autor predočava da kvalifikacija odgovarajućih upravnih akata i akata uprave kao "akata vlade" nije plod pukog sticaja istorijskih okolnosti, već utemeljenosti u prirodi stvari. S tim u vezi, autor definiše pravnu prirodu "akata vlade", iznoseći pritom originalno gledište o subjektivnim javnim pravima i pravnom pojmu politike kao vršenju apsolutnih subjektivnih javnih prava.
Ključne reči: "akti vlade", sudska kontrola zakonitosti, diskreciona vlast, subjektivna javna prava, pravni pojam politike.
