Does Public Management Reform Change Administrative Systems ? Whether and in what ways public management reform changes administrative systems are questions that can only be raised in cases of truly substantial reform policies which bring about changes in standards and habits, and as a consequence, in the administrative system itself. Three distinct hypotheses explain the transformation of administrative systems : changing public management tools pressures ; restructuring. Four main patterns of strategies are observable : “maintain”, “modernizing”, “marketising”, “minimising”. As a hypothesis on the change of administration systems, one could say that the Weberian State has shifted to the Neo-Weberian State under influence of a “maintain/modernise” based public management reform trajectory.
