The article starts out by pointing out the theoretical deficits of NPM. It also describes methodological concepts for future theory-building. The next part of the article focuses on implementation issues, which as the authors will show, necessarily requires a country-specific perspective. After a critical examination of the problems at stake the authors will suggest a series of implementation strategies as a solution to a self-sustaining development of NPM in Germany Public administration Loffler, Elke International Review of Administrative Sciences 38042 38042 38042 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 64, Issue no: 1 AR38389 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
