The comparative evolution of public administration in Australia, brazil, and Canada 

 - Toronto :  IPAC Institue of Public administration of Canada,  2006 
<br/><br/> The nature of the international public administration academic community is assessed through content analysis of articles in the Australian Journal of Public Administration (ARPA), Revista de Administraçâo Publica (RAP), and Canadian Public Administration (CPA). The method is based on that used by existing us research, allowing for comparison with that national context. The focus is on the institutional context, disciplinary influences, research methods, and locus of research in these national contexts. In conclusion, the paper finds that the various national communities studied are generally navigating a careful path between "a naïve, nationalist xenophobia" and a healthy "sociological reduction"
