File Paper files are available only for conference participants, please login first. Presenter Veronica Junjan Abstract The last twenty years have brought rather tumultuous changes in terms of the way PAR is being defined, conducted, imitated, and, why not, faked. This paper aims to explore the way scientific literature (on the one hand) and policy papers of international organizations (on the other hand) have addressed the issue of reform in public administration through conducting a meta-literature review. The starting point of the inquiry is the geographical area of CEE. A second goal of the paper is to detect whether and to what extent the pattern of reforms registered in the CEE represents a blueprint for the countries included in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and in the Central Asia.
