Development of Public Administration is characterised according to ‘locus’ or ‘focus’, in which locus is the institutional :
‘where’ of the field
Robert T. Golembiewski classified the intellectual development of Public Administration in terms of its locus and focus; Nicholas Henry later used the same pair to trace the five paradigms of the discipline.
Locus is the institutional "where" of the field, i.e. the place where administration happens, such as the government bureaucracy. Focus is the specialised "what" of the field, i.e. the subject matter, such as the principles of administration or management techniques.
The "when" and "how" of the field are not the terms used for locus or focus in this classification.
Hence, the answer is ‘where’ of the field.
