ABSTRACT

This study aims to explain why internationalizing American public administration program is necessary. The internationalization of public administration program means that American public administration programs not only include American students, but also foreign students who come from different countries in the world who still need to meet the common requirements of admission. The challenges and opportunities faced in internationalizing American public administration are outlined in this study. Realism theory explains opportunities created by the internationalization of American public administration and also presents challenges of internationalizing American public administration. Applying the methodology of library research, this study affirms that despite the challenges, internationalization of public administration is necessary to integrate thinking, enhance cognitive flexibility, and meet the increasing and diverse demands of globalization. The study insists that better service for these new foreign students creates mutual benefits, not only for the foreign students but also for American public administration. The internationalization of public administration is a strategy that should be adopted by public administration field of every country in the world.
