Challenges and possibilities in the development of territorial state administration the Hungarian example

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the presentation and evaluation of the processes affecting territorial state administration. Although the primary aim of the work is to describe the characteristics and development in Hungary, I use an international perspective at several points in the study as well. I also pay special attention to the description of defining trends such as neo- Weberian. The study is accordingly composed of three major parts. After the description of the historical features, special attention is paid to the description of the current Hungarian regulations and the presentation of international processes.Public administration institutions tend to periodically renew, and the various megacrises make this renewal indispensable. At the beginning of the 21st century, it is now apparent that the various economic or social tensions and the environmental or healthcare challenges cannot be overcome without an active public administration system. The Hungarian methods of reforming territorial state administration are both interesting and educational; after all, legislation managed to substantially transform several aspects of the public administration system while still remained operational in the process. I can confidently state that Hungarian territorial state administration system is following a path of development which is carved by global challenges but is also strongly formed by local circumstances.
