Less bureaucracy and more efficiency in the work of public administrations are on the agenda in all modern industrialized countries. We are currently seeing particularly radical changes in the USA. President Trump and his advisor Elon Musk want to fundamentally change the ever-growing bureaucracy in the US, which they see as an existential threat to their country. Whether successful or not, this process will shape the discussion about administrative structures.
