Although this book explains the basic concepts briefly, sometimes skipping the basic definitions, its merit lies in the detail inspection and expansion of the study of public administration in comparative settings. The general impression one gets after reading this book is that the public administration should be studied, analyzed and understood by juxtaposing the different schools of thoughts within broader range of macro-disciplines of Political Science, History, Law and other social sciences. Divorcing the field of inquiry of the public administration from other macro and sub disciplines results in limited applicability of the PA.
