Current Status of Comparative Public
Administration
In USA, the Comparative Administrative Group disbanded
in 1973 immediately after the stoppage of financial support
from the Ford Foundation; it merged with the
International Committee of the American Society for Public
Administration: Reflecting on the gradual decline of CPA,
Golembiewski wrote Public Administration should take
note of the fact that comparative administrations failure
rests substantially on a self-imposed failure experience. It
set an unattainable goal, that is, in its early and persisting
choice to seek a comprehensive theory or model in terms
of which to define itself.

Man is the product of his environment and so are his
institutions soctal, political, economic and others. In a
social system, environment broadly comprises institutions,
history, law, ethics, philosophy, religion education,
traditions, beliefs, values, symbols, myths etc. which may
described as material as well as non-material culture. All
institutions a Influenced by a societys environment and
culture, that includes pub administration too. Public
administration being a sub-system interacts with the social
system. F.W. Riggs remarks that The stgnificance of each
(administrative) pattern lies in its setting".
