“…Aside from field reports issued in the context of mission-based activities, these publications fell in three categories: people-centred development programmes and participatory management endeavours, state-of-the-art surveys of the development management field and new initiatives in the development management field in response to the revival of interest in management topics internationally. The latter embraces themes as diverse as the new institutionalism in the context of the emphasis placed on the sustainability of development programmes, policy reform and structural adjustment as shaped largely by African experience, and the application of strategic management concepts to developmental issues and concerns (Korten and Klauss, 1984;Korten and Alfonso, 1983;Hage and Finterbusch, 1987;Kerrigan and Luke, 1987;Rondinelli, 1987;White, 1987;Kiggundu, 1989;White, 1988).3…”

The decade of the 1980s signalled major changes within public administration and development-oriented activities. As a consequence of the internationalization of the agendas of practitioners and academics working in these areas, there is today a growing convergence among public policy, public management, public administration and political science. Given the complexity of the public sector cross-nationally, what has become necessary in public management education is the design of programmes that meet specific needs and priorities and which are responsive to very different national settings. This particular case study is centred around one endeavour to achieve more effective interfacing between theory and practice, in the teaching of public management and the design of development programmes in the United States (US). It is based on an assessment of a 10-year co-operative endeavour between the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration and the US Agency for International Development. The outcomes of this project provided not only leverage for important changes in the teaching programmes of schools concerned with international management education but also built a new relationship between government and a non-governmental organization through the contacting out of management development work.Since the early 1980s, there has been considerable ferment in public administration, public management, public policy and political science. While intellectual traditions in each of these areas embrace different sets of interests, varying agendas and distinct concepts as to which public issues warrant attention, by the end of the decade the acceleration of transitions to market economies and more open forms of governance on a worldwide basis had engendered increasing convergence among them. Despite different perceptions as to what constitutes relevant research and teaching, today these fields are coming to share common concern with the performance of public sector institutions, more precise identification of the actors and stakeholders influencing policy outcomes, and greater interest in the way in which public issues are articulated and processed. In such a setting where globalization of the economy and internationalization of public issues are on the increase, established demarcations between the public and private sectors are disappearing, as well as those between domestic and international policy arenas. As a consequence, one finds growing interest in internationalizing professional education and in designing curriculum and course offerings, which will enable the recipients of advanced training and education to respond more effectively to the demands of the marketplace and to demonstrate greater capacity in resolving the issues at hand.Professor Graham is in the

It is tempting to "internationalize the curriculumw in professional graduate programs by adding courses and units that deal with strategies to improve the international competitive position of the United States. The study considers three strategies for dealing more credibly with international and global issues. The more difficult and challenging are those that attempt to incorporate multi-and interdisciplinary activities. The study describes several topics with global implications that would benefit from interdisciplinary study. In the meantime, the traditional perspective of Public Administration is not very relevant to global concerns because of the close connection to nation-states and hierarchical organizations. There are, however, a number of trends in the field that could enhance its ability to contribute to a global perspective such as a growing attention to new institutional arrangements, more emphasis on consultations rather than regulatory controls, and more interest in the role of managers. 103
