Comparative best practices provide added value to public administration research. Public administration today faces complex challenges: citizens’ trust in government declines around Europe and populism rises; high corruption allegations are widespread across Europe and democratic backsliding in the CEE region is presently abundantly researched. Learning how local and central governments manage to face these challenges, discussing grassroots experiences and results is important for the development and relevance of public administration research.
