Figure 1
A diagram representing the dynamics of tipping points in public administration. The diagram is structured within a socio-political context and features three interconnected circles. The first circle, labeled System Dynamics & Pressures, highlights non-linear change and catalysts. The second circle, labeled Conceptual Framing & Strategic Action, emphasizes discursive tools and thresholds for action. The third circle, labeled Governance & Administrative Agency, focuses on institutional capacity and systemic pathologies. Arrows indicate the flow and interaction between these circles, with System Dynamics & Pressures influencing Conceptual Framing & Strategic Action, which in turn affects Governance & Administrative Agency. Political will and legitimacy are noted as key factors in the interaction between Conceptual Framing & Strategic Action and Governance & Administrative Agency.A preliminary conceptual model of tipping point dynamics in public administration
