Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the introduction of agency as administrative body and tool for administrative reforms. “Agencification” is a process where new agencies are created or where existing agencies are given more autonomy. Agencification is based on the classical distinction between policy formation and policy implementation. The idea is that policy formation should be handled by “core executives”, while policy implementation should be carried out by professional executive agencies with considerable managerial freedom and an extensive duty to report to the core the results of their performances. However, from the very start of the agencification the problem of balance between agency autonomy on the one hand and steering and control on the other emerged. Many authors claim that the reforms have led to a fragmented state.
