لا تنسوا القانون و السياسة : كيف يستفيد الباحثون العرب في مجال الإدارة العامة من الحدود المرنة للحقل في الخبرة الأميركية ؟

الملخص EN

This article sheds light on the reasons behind the lag of Arab public administration scholarship behind the needs of coping with the questions of political and administrative reform and situating public administration within the context of political governance.

This article draws insights from the development of the field in the US experience, its fuzzy boundaries, and value conflicts.

This was characterized by overlap and the value struggle caused by the three tributaries that established the knowledge and research architecture of the field, namely law, business administration, and political science.

The study concludes with a discussion of how different origins and political context detached public administration research in the Arab world from the ontological and methodological diversity that contribute to the richness of the field in the US experience.
