ABSTRACT

This purpose of this article is to analyze trends in comparative administration studies. The analysis is based on a review of studies published in three major Korean public administration journals, which were classified according to their contents. The results reveal that until the early 1990s, studies mainly focused on comparisons with the advanced countries of North America and Europe. However, since the mid-1990s comparisons with Asia (Japan in particular), and Oceania began to increase. In terms of the specific objects of comparison, from a total of 261 papers, policy studies was most popular with 61 papers, followed by regime and governance studies (44 papers), urban and local studies (38 papers), administrative reform studies (29 papers), and organization and personnel studies (28 papers).
