Abstract
In light of changing national and international conditions, the field of public administration is going through an exercise of refounding and reinventing. Globalization, technological advancements and ecological concerns have diluted the importance of development administration. This study traces the demise of development administration and presents a new paradigm in the form of sustainable development administration (SDA). The author argues that the paradigm of SDA is markedly different from the traditional paradigm of development administration (DA) in its emphasis, scope, treatment of politics, view of indigenous _cultures, goals, operating mode, decision making system, use of foreign aid and performance accountability. The study concludes by declaring that SDA has the potential to emerge as a New field of study in public administration.
