Abstract: The discipline of public administration has long grappled with the issue of the political-administrative dichotomy. A lopsided binary and categorical approach to political and administrative relationships seems to have been unable to reveal the complexity and multifaceted contextual nature of most contemporary coalition-led governments. This article draws on international lessons from subject experts exposed to coalition-led governments and the political-administrative dichotomy in developed and developing countries. The article proposes an alternative multifaceted contextualized approach to creating a positive and engaging learning environment between developed and developing countries in order to improve the contemporary political-administrative interface.
