This book explores the issue of international and comparative public
administration and its role in the (Master of Public Administration)
MPA program. The contents provide guidance for readers on how to
effectively incorporate the perspectives into the classroom. Public
administration is becoming an increasingly global field. Not only are
scholars working across borders, but public service organizations that
MPA graduates are extended to leave are increasingly required to work
across multiple countries and cultures. A growing demographic within
all MPA programs in the United States is that of international
student, many of whom intend to return to their countries and become
public servants after graduation. Historically, however, MPA programs
have taken a national perspective to their curriculum, predominately
focusing on administration within their own country. The national
perspective has led to challenges for students as they begin their
careers, particularly for students interested in working for the
federal government, international nonprofits, and governments outside
of the home countries. An international perspective increases cultural
competency in our organizations and overall appreciation of diversity.
This edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students,
academics, and researchers in public administration, public policy and
education. The chapters in this book were originally published in
Journal of Public Affairs Education.
