Consequences and Cures of Bureaucratic Overburdening II

Abstract

Public administrations in advanced democracies are increasingly overburdened, facing severe and growing challenges in fulfilling their proper functions. Overburdening arises from a continuous increase in the number of policies that require execution and enforcement on the one hand, and the relative stagnation in administrative capacities on the other. This panel invites scholarly submissions that explore how administrators are managing these daunting conditions. More critically, we seek insights into potential strategies and solutions to mitigate this pressing issue. We invite papers with a theory-driven or empirical approach using qualitative or quantitative methods.
