This book deals with the interdependencies regarding economic crises, administrative reforms and fiscal consolidation in political-administrative systems. The research will show that economic crises are the main factor for budget problems of states and local governments. Due to this effect, economic crises are a powerful driver for the development and implementation of administrative reforms. The research shows that there are, from a fiscal point of view, two main types of administrative reforms: Management strategies and Weberian strategies. These types of administrative reforms are investigated in case studies.
