TAMAYO PINEDA, Noris  y  DE ARMAS URQUIZA, Roberto. Public Administration as a social science: its multi, intra and transdisciplinary nature. Rev. Cubana Edu. Superior [online]. 2023, vol.42, n.3  Epub 10-Nov-2023. ISSN 0257-4314.

Public Administration as a discipline of study is considered in many countries as a university degree. This was the case in Cuba before the 1960s. Later, it disappeared as such and began to develop again with a focus fundamentally on management within the Economic Sciences.

As of the 90s, its importance began to grow, although it has not been easy for it to be recognized as a Social Science. The work bases the dimensions that Public Administration includes, its interaction with other Social Sciences and defends the transdisciplinary approach with which its study must be approached, surpassing the multi and interdisciplinary perspective with which it is most identified. The work considers the vision of the future of the Public Administration by promoting local development and innovation as well as pre and postgraduate training requirements that require the training of public officials who assume decision-making responsibilities.
