Symposium on theories of public organization: International perspectives

Abstract

This symposium was designed to provide a survey of theories of public organization throughout the world. Each review provides insight into the approaches different countries and cultures take toward Public Administration. It is apparent that no society is autonomous and that all are dramatically affected by changes of all types, including the change to a more global society. This fact leads to the obvious but often overlooked conclusion: that in the field of public administration, it is most important that findings be shared internationally if progress is to continue. In the end, by sharing what we learn, we are all better off, wherever we might reside.
