在全球化的语境下,公共行政的研究需要具有比较的视野,才能更好地了解行政改革在不同文化背景的国家里是如何开展的。为了更好地把握比较公共行政研究的发展状况,本文选取了发表于2000~2009年的151篇涉及比较公共行政主题的文献来进行分析。研究发现,相关的文献利用立意抽样,综合运用因果解释的、描述性的与探索性的方法开展理论研究与实证研究。比较研究主要对现有的资料开展定性研究,涉及的主题甚为广泛,但大部分研究对象集中在欧洲、亚洲以及北美等地区的国家。作者倡导增强混合方法的运用,更加重视“文化”这一重要变量的影响,同时整合社会科学的不同研究方法,以鼓励更多的学生、实践者与学者运用对比的思维进行思考与实践。三个从事比较研究的资深学者对这一重要的公共行政话题提出了深刻的见解。
In the context of globalization, the study of public administration needs to have a comparative perspective so as to better understand how administrative reform is carried out in countries with different cultural backgrounds. In order to better grasp the development of public administration research, this article chooses 151 articles published in 2000-2009 to compare public administration topics for analysis. The study found that the relevant literature uses the method of intentional sampling, integrated use of causal interpretation, descriptive and exploratory methods to carry out theoretical research and empirical research. Comparative studies mainly carry out qualitative research on the existing data, covering a wide range of topics, but most of the research focuses on countries in Europe, Asia and North America. The author advocates to enhance the use of mixed methods, pay more attention to the influence of the important variable “culture” and at the same time integrate different research methods in social science so as to encourage more students, practitioners and scholars to think and practice using contrasting thinking . Three senior scholars engaged in comparative studies put forward profound views on this important topic of public administration.
