Methodology of administrative sciences from the standpoint of the theory of hierarchies’ rivalry

Abstract

Social life is a rivalry of hierarchies. There are many different ideas about how to organize administrative sciences, and those ideas are contradictory to one another. On one side we have the view that one administrative science exists, and on the other hand we can show many administrative sciences. The administrative science triad can be seen as a compromise between those options. There are many factors affecting how administrative sciences are organised. One of the factors is how academic teaching at universities is divided. Another factor is how countries promote their scientists and their theories concerning administration and similar subjects.
