Considerably less is known about the feasibility of adopting NPM reforms in countries such as Israel, in which national bureaucracies never gained a high degree of institutional identity, administrative, expertise, or autonomous power. What strategies and designs are appropriate for instituting such reforms and what barriers may they face? Israels well-designed effort to create self-sustaining administrative reform during 1994 through 1996 reveals both workable approaches and some of their limits. Considering the Israeli case along with other single-country studies can enrich our explanatory and prescriptive theories of administrative reform
