Perhaps it is not necessary to choose from among the four trajectories of the new emerging CPA paradigm. All four tracks are useful, and they should all be developed simultaneously. An individual scholar can choose to concentrate on one track and learn to respect the work done by others in the remaining tracks. All levels of analysis are useful. However, all four tracks should be theory driven under the common conceptual umbrella of governance and public management. In each track, one must also decide which aspects of governance and public management one wants to study.
