Rasmus Fredslund Stenderup

Short presentation

Rasmus Stenderup is a PhD fellow at the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen, where he is a part of the Public Administration and Policy research group.

Rasmus' PhD project is about potentially unnessecary bureaucracy in the public sector - and more specifically, it is about how to find out when, in an administrative process, individuals experience their interaction with a public organisation as costly. The project is based on the concept of 'bureaucratic sludge' and from there it develops a methodology to identify sludge in public organisations.

The project is supervised by Peter Dahler-Larsen and Mogens Jin Pedersen.
