공공행정에서 드렉슬러는 효율성보다는 효과성에 초점을 맞춘 비기술적, 비관리적, "국가과학" 접근법을 강조한다. 그는 특히 비서방 행정(유교, 이슬람, 불교)에도 관심이 많다. 경제와 공공정책에서 그는 경제성장과 혁신과 산업정책의 국가 역할의 강력한 주인공이다. 철학적으로, 드렉슬러는 고 한스-조그 가다머의 마지막 학생 중 한 명으로 고전적인 헤르메뉴티언이다.

Drechsler는 특히 경제협력개발기구, 유럽평의회, SIGMA, 세계은행, 유럽연합(Lisbon Strategy), Inter-A와 같은 국가 정부 및 국제기구를 위해 공공 경영 개혁 및 혁신 정책 분야, 특히 고문을 역임했거나 그 역할을 수행해 왔다.그는 에스토니아, 몽골, 카자흐스탄, 페루, 브라질, 노르웨이의 국가 개발 계획과 같은 다양한 역량을 가지고 있다.

2000년에 Drechsler는 이단 경제학 연구의 중심이자 네트워크인 The Other Canon을 주요 설립자 겸 경영자 Erik Reinert와 공동 설립했다.[1]

드렉슬러는 1997년 에스토니아 국립과학상 사회과학 부문, 2001년 알레나 브루노프스카 행정학 우수 교수상, 2002년 브릿지워터 칼리지에서 우수 동문상을 수상했으며, 그곳에서 매년 W학상을 수여하기도 했다. 해롤드 로는 2004년 테라 마리아나 십자 훈장(마아르자마 리스트)과 에스토니아 훈장, 2005년에는 독일인 연방제 훈장(Fundersverdienstkreuz)을 수여했다. 2013년에는 헝가리 부다페스트 코르비누스 대학으로부터 명예사회과학 박사학위를 받았고, 2017년에는 상원의원 피터 B가 수상했다. 부어스마상은 미국행정학회 동남부 지역협회인 SECOPA로부터 국제공공행정 이론과 실천에 대한 공로로 수여된다.
