Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This article integrates our scholarly experience of teaching comparative public administration. In doing so, we offer a unique perspective as the co‐authors carry several diverse attributes, among them their countries of origin, current country in which they are teaching, and their academic experience. In addition to sharing pedagogical practices that have been used successfully in diverse countries, the article touches on overarching issues related to the opportunities and challenges of teaching comparative public administration, of confronting biases in knowledge directionality, and of reinforcing and extending recent advances in theory development related to comparative public administration.
