The paper will describe future tasks and reforms of public administration (PA) on the background of polycrisis in national (and international) configurations (“Zeitenwende”/changeof times: word of the year 2022 in Germany). This back-ground-analysis of society (“the whole elephant”) is necessary for the understand-ding of administrative challenges and the possibility of international comparisons. The increasing complexity (multilateralism) and contingency (loss of support and compliance with regard to (inter-) national contracts) in the “world society” makes it ever more difficult to compare practical experiences and to develop well-founded scientific insights. The paper, therefore, will rely mainly on observations from Germany.
