Quo Vadis public administration

บทคัดย่อ

Quo Vadis public administration was a question raised at an international conference two years ago at Bali by Indonesian scholars as a starting point of discussions. The consensus at the meeting was that public administration had to employ multi-disciplinary approach for the study and analysis of the subject matter related to administering affairs of state. Such a question was not just confined to what appeared prima facie but rather with implications of many aspects regarding the subject matter most importantly it raised issues of the need to make adjustment as to the way the subject matter was taught and learned and to be applied. It insinuated need for change due to the fact that the conventional approach was outdated and there was need for serious discussions among scholars about the subject known as public administration.
