This is an introductory course that will examine the history and recent developments in development of the discipline of public administration, mostly drawing from the US experience and American (management- and politics-based) understanding of the discipline. The course will also address characteristics of public administration in different countries, including Armenia. By the end of the class, you should be able to write a theoretically informed discussion/argument on issues and developments in public management, make an oral presentation of your argument and debate its merits, and evaluate the techniques of presentation and arguments advanced by other students during their presentations.
