Title
Repetitive reform : doing more harm than good?
Author
Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to discussions on the performance and resilience of administrative systems around the world. When the storm subsides, evaluations of what went wrong and where improvements can be made will follow, and this could result in public sector reforms to be better prepared for future tragedies. However, during the past 30 years many governments have experienced intense and multiple series of reforms. Recent research has delved into the possible negative side-effects of repetitive reforms. While their intentions may be appropriate, policymakers seeking to rejuvenate and modernise administrative systems need to consider these insights to avoid doing more harm than good.
