Abstract
Abstract This article surveys the administrative reform initiatives in Malaysia, focusing in particularly developments in the last decade. It examines the major issues in public sector reforms and their responses to the rapid political and economic transformations that are taking place in the country. The New Public Management (NPM) paradigm in the Mahathir administration is examined in the administrative as well as the political contexts. The article argues that reform efforts in the last decades have been hindered by political penetrations generated by turbulent political changes. Factional party politics, federal-state tensions, and ethnic considerations have in various degrees constrained the Barisan Nasional (BN) government in advancing its version of NPM.
