3) The multiple dimensions of Public Administration research: diverse concerns, disciplinaryvisions and national traditionsHow did the (US) ’classics’ shape the way we approach Public Administration research? Did thislegacy create specific paths? What are the questions addressed by contemporary PA research? How dothey evolve over time, and across disciplines and countries, and why? Is the study of PA a differentendeavor in different countries? Does that affect research questions and theoretical perspectives? Howdoes your own research project fit with PA research trends? Which fields does it/will it draw upon?

Task:

Each student must identify a book chapter/article dedicated to a particular national/regionalperspective on PA (either amongst the reference list below or through their own library search) andpresent a critical assessment to the rest of the seminar participants. They should be ready to discussthese contributions in the seminar and also to expose their own ’perspective’ on public administration.

4) The comparative challenge

Questions: Are they different national models of state administration? Can the study of publicadministration travel? Does administrative legacy undermine the potential of CPA to informadministrative reform? How does practice influence scholarship? What are the benefits and pitfalls ofCPA? What are the biggest challenges for CPA? Where is CPA looking for inspiration/to inspire?

Task: Identify a chapter/article which offers a CPA analysis in your own field of interest, read it,assess it in the light of the mandatory reading, and present your conclusions to the class.

11) Collaborative public administration: focus on the role of the third sectorQuestions

To what extent can private actors contribute to ‘public’ functions (delivery of public services, etc.)?What theoretical approaches emphasize the role of private actors (citizens, market, third sector, etc.) inpublic service delivery? How can citizens play a more active part in the delivery of public goods andservices? What are the challenges to the involvement of private actors in the delivery of public goods?Are NGOs the new ‘ welfare state’? Which theoretical approaches contribute to understanding thefunctioning of collaborative networks?

Task: In your field of interests, indentify relevant public/private actors involved in the delivery ofpublic services/goods/policies, etc and assess their interrelationship, as well of researching theseinteractions and their effects.
