SUMMARY

Key Terms:

1. paradigm

2. locus

3. focus

Introduction:
Five paradigms of public administration[1] will be discussed in this chapter to indicate that public administration is a new unique synthesizing field. This is because many conceived that public administration as a discipline is an amalgam of organization theory, management science, and the concept of public interest. It is now time to establish itself as an institutionally autonomous enterprise in colleges and universities in order to retain its social relevance and worth. Some new words in this chapter are: a. baroquism – a reexamination by public administrationists of where the field has been and where it is going appears worthwhile; and b. paradigm – a term that conveys the concept of a field’s self-identity and the changing dynamics of that identity.
