Which one is the most popular approaches in Comparative Public Administration which has been stressed considerably by Fred Riggs ?
Answer: D
The approach most associated with Fred Riggs is the ecological approach.
In The Ecology of Public Administration (1961) and Administration in Developing Countries (1964), Riggs argued that administration can only be understood in relation to its environment: the social, economic, political and cultural setting in which it operates. His models of fused, prismatic and diffracted societies, with the 'sala' as the prismatic bureaucracy, apply this ecological approach.
Riggs also used structural-functional analysis to build those models, which makes it a tempting choice, but the approach he stressed and is known for is the ecological one. The systems and behavioural approaches are associated with others, such as Easton and Simon.
