STOP BUREAUCRACY REFORMS — CASE STUDY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN SLOVAKIA

Abstract

The subject of the research is the possibility of implications of project management tools within the possibility of implementing reforms in public administration in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. For this purpose, the Stop bureaucracy strategy and its two reforms in the field of informatization with the objective - to allow technically and legislatively the replacement of paper confirmations requested by public authorities in accordance with the "once and only principle” in the Slovak Republic - were selected. The results point to the fact that in addition to the need to involve relevant actors to ensure the effectiveness and democratic aspect of policy making in multi-level governance, the duration of the relevant parliamentary term also has a direct impact on the possibilities of implementing reforms and their projects in public administration. The review of two reforms in the recent two parliamentary terms provides an insight into other attributes that, in synergy, affect the possibility of implementing changes in the public administration of the Slovak Republic during one parliamentary term.
