    Comparative Public Administration analyzes administrative institutions, processes, and behaviors across organizational and national boundaries. It evolved from traditional public administration, which focused on normative principles rather than empirical study, to become a more scientific discipline using comparative methods. The scope of comparative public administration is to introduce administrative reforms in countries by learning from others' experiences. It helps develop theories and understand what drives effective or ineffective administration in different contexts. However, directly applying solutions from one country to another may not work due to differences in environment and culture.

    •Conclusion
    Introduction:-
    •Comparative Public Administration can be Defined as the Study of
    Administrative Institutions, Process, and Behaviours across
    Organizational, National and Cultural Boundaries.

    •New Concept

    •Contradictory Approach Against Orthodox Public Administration.

    •Method of Investigations and Analysis.


    •Compares Attributes And Performance of Administrative Systems And
    Subsystems.

    •Fred W Riggs “Father of Comparative Public Administration”.

    •Most Important Contribution by “Comparative Administrative Group”.


    “The Public Administration has Applied to Diverse
    Cultures and National Setting and The Body of Factual
    Data, by which it can be examined and tested”
    :- The CAG (Comparative Administrative Group).

    “Comparative Public Administration has been


    predominantly Cross-cultural in orientation”
    :- Jong S. Jun.

    “Comparative Public Administration is a Discipline


    which uses empirical tools of comparison to study the
    total matters of public administration irrespactive of
    time, place or cultural Variables” :- A.H. Tyagi.
    Evolution of CPA:-
    •The Emphasis on the Need for Comparative Method in Studying Public
    Administration is Given Long Back By Woodrow Wilson in 1887.

    •Woodrow Wilson:- “We Can Never learn either Our Own Virtues By Comparing
    Ourselves with Ourselves it is best on the whole to get entirely away from our own
    atmosphere and to be Most Careful in Examining Such System As those of france
    or Germany”.

    •Robert Dahl in his essay “The Science of Public Administration-1947” says “No
    science of Public Administration is Possible Unless There is A body of
    Comparative Studies”.

    •Comparative Administration Group was Formed in 1960 to formulate Universal


    Comparative Theory of Public Administration Under the Chairmanship of Fred
    W Riggs.

    •Focus on The Comparative Study Became Vigourous After The Second World
    War.
    • Five Motivating Concerns Addressed By The School of Comparative Public
    Administration:-
     The Search For Theory.
     The Urge For Practical Application
     The Incidental Contribution of The Broader Field of Comparative Politics.
     The Interest Of The Researchers Trained in The Tradition of Administrative
    Law
     The Comparative Analysis of Ongoing Problems Of Public Administration.

    • The Major Areas Of Research are Bureaucracy, Public Policies, Motivation,


    Finance, Developmental aspects of Administration etc.

    •CAG Discontinued In 1973.

    •Fred W Riggs and Other Scholars Established a Section on International &


    Comparative Administration which is Continuously Promoting Study And
    Teaching and research in Comparative Public Administration.

    •As of 2022 The Discipline of Comparative Public Administration is Taught in


    Large Number of Foreign and Indian Institutions.
    Nature :-
    •Durkheim and Eisenstad Believes That comparison are inherent part of any Social
    Analysis.
    •Some Scholars believe that Comparative Enquiry Has Special Focus and Techniques.

    • Fred W Riggs Observes 3(three) trends in The Study Of CPA


    • Normative to Empirical.
    • Ideographic to Namothetic.
    • Non Ecological to Ecological.

    • Normative to Empirical:-
    The Traditional Studies Focused on Classical Approach
    Idealistic Nature.
    Main Attention Was Good Administration.
    Efficiency & Economy Were Primary Goals.
    Administrative Principles Were Prescriptive in Nature.
    After 1945 Focus Shifted From Idealistic Studies to Realistic.
    •Ideographic to Nomothetic:-
    Ideographic Studies Focus On Studies of Unique Cases Such As historical events,
    Study of Single Agency or Country.

    Nomothetic Studies Seeks To Develop Generalisation and Theories Based


    On Analysis Of Regularities of Administrative Behaviour.

    The Objective Was To Examine Similarities And Differences And


    Draw Generalisations.

    •Non Ecological to Ecological:-


    In Traditional Public Administration No Serious Attempt Was Made In Regards Of
    Environment In Which Administrative System Functions.

    In 1960s Fred W Riggs And Other Scholars Focused On Ecological Approach For
    Comparing Administrative & its External Environment.
    Scope Of CPA:-
    Woodrow Wilson has very accurately visualized the Scope of CPA in his article “ The
    Study of Public Administration” as “The Scope Of CPA Would Be to Use It For
    The Practical Purpose of Introducing Administrative Reforms in Different
    Countries Based on the Experience of Other Countries.”

    •CPA Studies Different Administrative Systems in Their Ecological Settings.

    •It Focuses on Empirical Study Based on Rigorous Methods, Such as Field


    Observations.

    •CPA has Developed an Inter Disciplinary Orientation.

    •CPA made Public Administration Research Oriented.

    Robert Dahl has Aptly Remarked that “As Long As The Study is Not
    Comparative, Claims of a Science of Public Administration Sounds
    Rather Hollow!”.
    Characteristics:-
    •Comparative Public Administration is The Study of The Individual
    Characteristics of Administrative Systems Functioning in Different Nations.

    •It Helps in Developing and Researching the Attributes of Public


    Administration.

    •It Is oriented Towards Empirical Approaches, In The Discussion of


    Comparative Public Administration Scientific Methods Are Applied.

    •This Discipline Has Western Domination.

    •Concerned With The Problems of Developing Nations & Possible Solutions.

    •Studies and Compare Similar & Dissimilar Features in Order to Find Out
    Causes or Reasons For Effective Performance or Behaviour of Administrators.
    Significance:-
    • It Makes Students, Teachers, Researchers, Administrators & Experts
    Aware of Administration of Other States & How The Systems Differ
    From Each Other.

    •Hypothesis Theories and Models Can Be Constructed Through


    Comparative Public Administration.

    •CPA is Considered As a Movement that seeks to Transform the Idea Of


    Public Administration From Idealistic to Empirical and Pragmatic.

    •It Helps Researchers Understanding The Success & Failures of


    Administrative Structures in Different Environments.

    •CPA Played an Important Role In Making The Subject Broader, Useful


    and Inter Disciplinary.
    Limitations/Problems:-
    • Loopholes of One System Can Produce Ideas To Create Imaginary Crisis In
    Another System.

    •Risk of Benchmarking, Despite Being In The Same Environment What Works In


    One Country May Not Work In Another.

    •New Concept lacks Substance.

    •CPA Focuses on Development and Neglects Other Areas of Importance Such


    as Culture.

    •Potential Cause Of Civil Unrest If Models Used By Politician As Campaign Strategy.

    •Lacks flexible Mechanism to Resolve Conflicts Between Private & Public Interest.
