The book was published on 26 October 2018 by the Edward Elgar Publishing House. Fritz Sager, Christian Rosser, Céline Mavrot and and Pascal Y. Hurni explore and analyze the hybridity of administrative traditions from historical perspective, the book provides a new approach to the history of Public Administration as a scientific discipline.

Original and interdisciplinary chapters address the question of how scholars from the USA, Germany and France mutually influenced each other, from the closing years of the 19th Century, up until the neo-liberal turn of the 1970s. Offering a thorough analysis of the transatlantic history of Public Administration, the conclusion argues that it is vital to learn from the past, in order to make Public Administration more realistic in theory, as well as more successful in practice.

Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate political science scholars will find this to be a valuable tool in understanding the foundations of transatlantic Public Administration. This book will also greatly benefit researchers on comparative and transnational history with a keen interest in Public Administration.
