Abstract

Through an account of the national political, institutional and bureaucratic context, this chapter aims to show that a political culture characterized by increasing levels of politicization in public administration and failure to introduce essential legal amendments as well as the externally motivated nature of administrative reform were the root causes for its perceived failure at least up until 2015. By exemplifying how the national context has been able to modify the transfer process, the chapter argues that, using legal loopholes, the ruling parties have been able to circumvent the provision of the CSL, developed with the assistance of SIGMA/EU and the WB, in order to bring in or retain political militants in the administration.
