520 _aPublic administration and public services have always taken a marginal place in political scientis' behavioural research. Public administration students, in contrast, tend to focus on political and administrative elites and institutions and have largely ignored citizens in comparative research. In this article, we make a plea for international comparative research on citizens' attitudes towards public administration from an interdisciplinary perspective.
