摘要：

Is administrative reform path dependent or path creation? Some scholars believe that public sector reform is path dependent while others are of the opinion that it is path creation as it is supposed to deviate from an old order to a new one. In this paper, we contribute to this debate by examining a recently developed public sector reform strategy in Ghana, hailed as a new path to address the shortcomings of public organizations. We argue that the strategy is not a new path and may not necessarily bring the kind of changes needed in Ghana.
