Abstract
The article maps the relevant public administration (PA) research related to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by systematically analyzing international studies about PA in MENA between 1945 and 2019, complemented with findings from a newly-developed survey that sheds light on the activities of academics working in the region. We found PA research in MENA to be fragmented and isolated from international debates, and research about MENA being scattered. Finally, a modest proposal for a conceptual framework based on “functional equivalents” for traditional concepts and paradigms of PA research that may nudge cross-fertilization in both directions is discussed.
