Abstract

This paper is an exposition into the conceptual and methodological approaches to the study of comparative public administration. Essentially, the comparative approach to public administration has serious inclination to research and theory-building. It similarly promises to take public administration closer to the scientific status/destination which it desperately covets through empiricism. The ingredients and procedures for attaining this were articulated in this paper. Some of the theories and models considered useful in analysing administrative / political systems were also identified and discussed in the paper
