Co je víc, státní správa či samospráva?
What is more, state administration or self-government?

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the ongoing debate about the relative importance of state administration versus self-government. The author argues that such disputes are often trivial and unnecessary, emphasizing that the primary concern should be the needs of individuals, which are the foundation of all public administration. The text explains that public needs vary widely and can be met by different levels of administration, from local municipalities to the state. The principle of subsidiarity is highlighted, suggesting that each administrative level should handle tasks that cannot be effectively managed by a lower level. The author concludes that both state and self-government are essential and should not be seen as hierarchical but rather as complementary, each serving the public in different capacities. The article underscores the importance of clear delineation of responsibilities to avoid conflicts and ensure efficient governance.
