บทคัดย่อ
This article aims to present a study using comparative methods to create knowledge about the 21st-century bureaucracy, which is facing the problem of fragmented knowledge from efforts to develop theories suitable for the complex, diverse, and dynamic environments of each society today. This complexity makes it challenging to understand and apply such knowledge practically, potentially leading to the decline of the discipline similar to the field of public administration in the past. Therefore, this article proposes a solution by using a comparative study approach to create models of relationships between social contexts and practices in the form of conditions, which will lead to the connection, organization, and integration of fragmented knowledge into a unified whole.
