Finally, unlike advanced industrial nations where the major domains of society (e.g. politics, economy, business, religion, and administration) are relatively auton- omous or mutually exclusive, these domains are deeply interconnected in develop- ing societies, which requires a multi-dimensional approach and an interdisciplinary perspective practiced and underscored by Riggs. His multi-disciplinary scholarship is evident in the use of multiple sources of ideas and constructs (especially from sociology, comparative politics, economics, and public administration), the diver- sity in his research areas (administration, ethnicity, presidentialism, and globaliza- tion), and in the recognition of his work in major fields of study beyond public administration.1
The heydays of comparative public administration and development adminis- tration saw considerable progress in administrative theory-building, the emergence of some paradigmatic consensus, and an expansion of critical discourse on the subject.2 But since the early 1980s, the emergence and worldwide proliferation of neoliberal policies and reforms and the corresponding intellectual shifts towards businesslike analytical framework have led to the relative marginalization (if not total replacement) of such a comparative research tradition (Peters, 1994). It can be argued that compared to the three progressive trends of comparative public admin- istration traced by Riggs in this IRAS article, the current trends in the field appear to be quite disjointed, incoherent, and thus, uncertain.
