Today, the focus of traditional public administration is on the operation of the central and local government institutions. But at this point, the importance of the work, by Max Weber and Woodrow Wilson, which the official authorities at the central and local levels have done with the aim of cleansing from the influences of politics, is great. These studies and efforts have made it possible that public administration is considered as a science and discipline.  Public administration, which is considered as a discipline, has begun to create a literature and has continued to develop in this context with theories, approaches and a variety of research. Despite this evolution, the reduction of the boundaries between the public and private sector, the increasing mutual dependence and the privatization of public services, the lack of a satisfactory perspective of public administration has led to the questioning of the traditional public administration and has also opened the front of new concepts and paradigms. This situation has been explained by the attractiveness of new forms of thinking and the traditional public administration’s practice of managing large complex organizations is solely relying on the rules and in an unflexible way. The concepts / approaches such as the New Public Administration (YKY) and governance that emerged in this scope and came after the traditional public administration have formed their theoretical infrastructure, starting from the heritage that the public administration has revealed. The aim of this study is to study the relationship between public administration, YKY and management concepts in the management science axis. In this context, a perspective on paradigm shifts from public administration to YKY and management has been shown.
