The three small countries of Estonia, Bhutan and Singapore have captured both public and specialists’ attention as top models for dealing with three of the main challenges of our time: digitalization, happiness orientation, and public sector capacity.

Given the tendency of other countries and international organizations to benchmark themselves against these three countries, an honest look at their actual achievements seems vital for policy and administration globally.

Wolfgang Drechsler has worked in all three countries and conducted and published in-depth interviews with key participants, from an academic and a professional perspective. The three lectures form a coherent whole, but each stands alone and can be attended separately:
