Download | | Author(s): Camelia Baesu | | DOI: 10.4316/EJAFB.2023.11118 | | Abstract: Over the last two decades, European nations have embarked on public administration reforms, facing distinct challenges and exhibiting significant diversity in their approaches. The complexity arises from the heterogeneity among Western European, Central, and Eastern European countries, impacting the outcomes of these reform initiatives. Understanding the variations in administrative systems, human resources structures, governance models, and service provisions across EU member states is crucial for comprehending the broader landscape of public administration reforms in Europe. This article aims to thoroughly investigate the multifaceted nature of public administration reforms in European countries. Additionally, the study aims to scrutinize the transformations witnessed in Romania's public administration landscape, particularly concerning privatization, decentralization, delegation of public services, management of public institutions, and reforms facilitated with the support of the European Commission, pre and post-EU accession. The research methodology incorporates a comprehensive review and synthesis of existing literature, reports, and studies pertaining to public administration reforms in Europe. Through a comparative analysis approach, the study categorizes European administrative systems based on historical, political, and organizational cultures, shedding light on distinctive traditions prevalent in different countries. The study unveils the complexity and diversity inherent in public administration reforms across European countries, highlights the challenges faced by nations in implementing reforms, emphasizing the implications of heterogeneity among EU Member States on the outcomes of these initiatives. | | Keywords: Public Administration; New Public Management; Public Services; Modern Governance. | References:
