While Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) theories focus primarily on phenomena such as systemic robustness against perturbation, self-organization, and on emergence, transformation, and dissolution of organizational entities or action patterns in nature understood as biological systems, the metaphorical resonance of CAS work is not easily translated into careful scientific results in public administration in the environment of globalization. It can be very difficult to identify the right level at which to develop more precise theoretical generalizations with well specified domains of applicability in public administration. This paper demonstrates an approach to this problem. We systematically investigate how emergence new features in a self organized process known as Public Administration.
