These studies converge perception that sector's capacity implement address societal problems is progressively diminishing. However, there clear knowledge gap regarding breadth, dynamics, pervasiveness issue, existing research often narrows its focus implementation specific or sectors. This paper addresses by mapping frequency bureaucratic overload reports newspaper articles from Italy, Ireland, Germany, spanning two decades 2003 2022. In second step, we describe drivers coded random sample articles. Our reveals indeed escalating problem resulting “explosive” cocktail external internal challenges simultaneously affect authorities.
