Looking back at 50 years of the landscape of comparative public administration, the story told through these pages has tried to document the odyssey of an international organization that successfully confronted many challenges to its existence while achieving continuity of leadership by providing a homogeneous outlook with participatory and interactive forum for both academics and practitioners. An impressive gathering of scholars and practitioners working as a team has provided a panoramic overview of the history of comparative public administration as a field of study, and the role played by the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration during its 50 years odyssey. Edited by O.P. Dwivedi with contributions from such eminent scholars and IASIA stalwarts as Ladipo Admolekun, Paul Collins, Michiel de Vries, Turgay Ergun, Bernardo Mattarella, Stefano Pizzicannella, Melchior Powell, Allan Rosenbaum, Roger Wettenhall, and Gabriel William, the volume depicts an intimate account of the start-up, the inner workings and accomplishments of an international organization which helped in the maturity of the discipline by building a strong foundation for experts and practitioners to exchange ideas and learn from each other.
