- Abstract
There are two criteria for paradigm change, the first one is the reconstruction of basic theory, and the second one is the change of method and application of the paradigm, in which the former is more important. Scholars of public administration at home and abroad have different viewpoints about the paradigm change of public administration not only because of their different understanding of paradigm and the standards of paradigm change, but also because of the complexity of public administration itself. According to the standards of paradigm change, there are three basic research paradigms of the public administration, traditional public administration, new public management and public governance. Research of the paradigm change of public administration is benefit for the better understanding of the history of public administration as well as the practices of government. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
