Abstract

Comparative public administration (CPA) investigates and analyzes by comparing administrative systems and subsystems to enhance our understanding of public administration. Social, political, and cultural contexts that have significant influence on administrations and institutions might dramatically reduce the reliability and validity of causal inferences. Therefore, drawing a comparative framework sometimes might be an alternative method of comparison where experimentation is not possible, to develop generalizations in research and/or to discover best or unique practices. Good comparison framework, paradigms, and models developed by researchers are used as instruments to make healthy comparisons. This chapter aims to provide the most appropriate framework to evaluate how each particular country or administrative system differs or is similar to others. Therefore, it offers specific topics, titles, and subtitles to make case studies comparable. These titles and subtitles are administrative history, central and local governments, public finance management, intergovernmental relations, civil services systems, civil society, and administrative reforms.
