“…Thus, faculty and student exchanges, international conferences, and international accreditation have apparently failed to develop an epistemic community for building a global public administration knowledge base because these initiatives have not created conditions that reduce autonomy and establish mutuality. As a prelude to successful collaboration, public administration stakeholders must convene to discuss how building a global public administration knowledge base serves their own aims and identify complementarities and shared interests with other stakeholders (Hatcher & McDonald, 2022).…”

Public administration has been seeking to develop a global knowledge base, dating back to the early days of the field. Despite expressed interest in building such a knowledge base, scholars continue to criticize overly narrowly public administration knowledge, which tends to favor developed countries and the Global North. This article applies principles from collaboration theory, which was developed for solving complex problems, to set a course for intentionally broadening the geographic scope and perceived validity of public administration theory. Five interconnected variables from collaboration theory are used to assess how members of the public administration epistemic community can build and facilitate collaboration to develop global public administration knowledge. Specific action steps are discussed to increase collaboration and, in turn, the inclusiveness of the global public administration knowledge base.

How can Latin American students learn more effectively how different governments address similar public problems? This region shares similarities in terms of culture and history. However, Latin American students study only their public policies and public administration based on the notion that each administrative system has its own particularities. This paper analyzes the results of a comparative learning experience among undergraduate students of two universities in the region, taking advantage of the “virtual” classroom that emerged amid the COVID-19 crisis. In this context, we developed a semester-long group project with students from two universities: Chile and Colombia. The results presented in this paper show that the activity was successful and meaningful for the students. This article intends to present this pedagogical experience and add to the limited literature on the pedagogy of public administration in Latin America, particularly the application of active learning techniques in a public affairs classroom.
