520 3 _aPublic administration in Western nations functions within a liberal-democratic societal context that shapes the roles and work of public service academicians and practitioners. In recent decades, values enacted in the societal context have increasingly been regressive, emphasizing aggressiveness, premodern belief, economics as an end in itself, great social inequality, and Earth as a resource pool for business activities. This trend is in contrast to the progressive values of cooperation, knowledge of and openness to alternatives, economics as means, limited inequality, and Earth as a home to be protected. The emphasis on regressive values in particularly apparent in the United States, wich may be used to illustrate the nature of the phenomenon. This paper discusses the potential for public administration academicians to counter te spread of regressive values and encourage enactment of progressive values
