Aspects of Convergence in the EU’s Renewed Strategic “Vision” of the European Administrative Space

Abstract

The set of “overarching principles” and shared values of member states, known as the “European Administrative Space”, from various documents of the European Commission and SIGMA, was revised in 2023 to adjust and upgrade the existing framework to the most recent practices and guidelines established by the OECD, the EU, and other international organizations. The present article explores this renewed vision of the consolidation of the European Administrative Space and the instruments that the European Union, especially the European Commission, will use to expand cooperation and offer support to Member States in planning and adapting their public administrations’ reforms for the current and future needs of their societies.
