D evelopmental Administration vs Traditional Administration the distinction between the two can be made on the following lines:- Traditional administration did not respond to the demands of socio-economic development, whether in colonies such as Thailand and Ethiopia. They were not expected to be quick to respond to legislature or other representatives of the people. 2 . Development administration responds to the socio-economic and political needs of the people. 3 . Traditional administration is a creation of industrial revolution, whereas development administration a product of post-colonial and post World War II. 4. Development administration has more emphasis on approachable administration in contrast to traditional administration. 5. Development administration has more rigorous and all-encompassing interest in planning whereas traditional administration has partial concern in planning.
