ABSTRACT

President Barack Obama has raised expectations that the US may begin to rebuild its reputation as a member of the world community. But if US public administrators are to respond effectively when elected and appointed officials do ask their help with policies and programs, they need to anticipate the challenges this entails. Today, US international public administration is beset by diverse approaches, ambitious goals and operational complexities. Therefore, it should first be defined as purposive praxis; then directed toward global development using data-driven, performance-oriented and sustainable smart practices. This means reconnecting the approaches, seeking pragmatic not dogmatic solutions, conducting action research based on quantitative and qualitative data, connecting research results with policy outcomes and policy influences, and preparing globally competent administrators and organizations.
