teNgouo, Leon Bertra creator text xu| 2017 continuing ng nkp.541-56 2.This article is a contribution to the debate raised in the special issue of the International Review of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS) (Volume 79(3)) devoted to the World Bankﾒs approach to public sector management for 2011ﾖ2020. We offer a methodological framework for action that builds on the definitions we have chosen of three key concepts used by several authors: 'administrative reform', the ﾑreal worldﾒ and the 'performance' of administrations. The proposed model suggests an inductive-style methodological approach, taking into account the challenges that the World Bank has set itself to secure the successful implementation of its strategy. - Repro World Ba Administrative reform ndPublic administration International Review of Administrative Sciences 180718
