Distributional Conflicts in a Globalizing World: Consequences for State-Market-Civil Society ArrangementsAbstract
This article points to the adverse circumstances in which public administration education
and training has to take place in developing countries, more specifically in South Africa.
This is especially seen in the combination of scarce resources and rapidly increasing
enrolment. The consequence thereof is that the didactics of education and training suffer
in becoming characterized by mere teaching instead of the promotion of learning.
The article points to a serious dilemma especially faced under such difficult circumstances,
namely that a curriculumeither addresses all the subjects relevant froman academic
perspective and conformto international accreditation criteria, and becomes deficient in the
way all these topics are taught—or opts to prioritize topics based on a skills-needs analysis
and optimizes the way in which this limited number of topics is learned.
