Building theory from Cambodian evidence  c2013  ap.275-285.  aOct  aThis article demonstrates how theory can be built to explain cases of public administration reform failure in Asia. Drawing on the methodologies of middle range theory and grounded theory, qualitative data are gathered from the case of Cambodia and then analyzed. The result is the proposition that a specific constellation of reform-inhibiting factors explains the slow progress of public administration reform in Cambodia. At the center of the constellation is patronage. The cluster of surrounding and interrelated factors includes weak accountability, hegemonic political regime, high and legitimate power distance, low wages, and bureaucratic dysfunction. The chances of reform success increase with the removal or absence of these inhibiting factors. The analysis emphasizes the importance of political economy factors in determining the success or failure of public administration reform. - Reproduced.  aPublic administration  aBureaucracy  aPublic Administration and Development  aN  a101435  c101433d101433  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 33, Issue no: 4pAR101895r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
