P

ublic Administration Review (PAR) is dedicated

to advancing theory and practice in public

administration. PAR ser ves a wide range of

audiences around the world. PAR of‌f ers a lively forum

for dissemination and exchange of ideas about the

profession. We welcome contributions from scholars

and practitioners.

Perspective. Perspective is a forum for public admin-

istration and policy leaders to share their insights and

wisdom about important issues on the public admin-

istration agenda. Perspective seeks contributions from

leading public administration professionals, elected

and appointed public of‌f‌i cials from the U.S. and

abroad, and opinion leaders outside the public sector.

Perspective essays of 1,000 words or less will of‌f er the

author’s position about an important issue or chal-

lenge confronting public decision makers. Authors’

views should be supported by evidence grounded

in authors’ knowledge, experience and insights.

Essays may cover topics ranging from classic issues of

responsibility, representation, and executive leadership

to more topical issues of collaborative governance,

e-government, and sustainability. We welcome unso-

licited submissions. Submissions should be directed to

Perspective and Commentary Editor Daniel Feldman

(dfeldman@jjay.cuny.edu).

Articles. PAR welcomes manuscripts using diverse

theoretical and research frameworks about topics

across the domain of public administration. Articles

are expected to adhere to high-quality scientif‌i c

standards and promote knowledge and understand-

ing for professionals and practitioners interested in

theory, empirical research, and recent and emerging

developments in the f‌i eld. Research topics appropri-

ate for PAR encompass a broad domain, ranging

from theoretical and empirical research about public

organizations, policy analyses, evaluation research,

and normative theory that explores value questions

associated with public administration. Cross-national

and multicultural research is welcome. Authors

should submit manuscripts electronically to Editorial

Manager (http://www.editorialmanager.com/par).

Further inquiries regarding submission of articles

should be addressed to Managing Editor Michael

McGuire (par@indiana.edu).

Commentaries. PAR features commentaries by

professionals on selected articles.  e commentaries

are intended to advance PAR’s mission of supporting

dialogue among practitioners and academicians.  e

commentaries aim to add value by relating the articles’

insights, f‌i ndings, and conclusions to the experiences

of practitioners.  ey should be focused around a sin-

gle theme or insight related to an article so the theme

can be developed in some depth within a 1000-word

limit. If you are interested in being considered to write

a commentary, send your expression of interest, con-

tact information, and a short bio to Perspective and

Commentary Editor Daniel Feldman (dfeldman@jjay.

cuny.edu).

Public Administration and the Disciplines. PAR

values dialog between public administration schol-

ars who identify themselves as interdisciplinary and

scholars from traditional disciplines.  e goal of

Public Administration (PA) and the Disciplines is to

acknowledge the partnership that exists between PA

and the disciplines, and to facilitate strong intellectual

exchanges across f‌i eld boundaries, in both direc-

tions, that will advance theory and practice in public

administration. Essays for PA and the Disciplines will

usually be written by scholars trained in a discipline

on how developments in a specif‌i c subf‌i eld of their

discipline could contribute to advancing knowledge

about public administration.  e articles for this series

are also intended to show how current scholarship

in public administration can advance knowledge in

the discipline. Articles are expected to ref‌l ect cutting-

edge developments in the disciplines, show why these

developments are important for PA, and also show

why public administration scholars’ attention to the

theory can improve its validity. Proposals and submis-

sions should be sent to Public Administration and the

Disciplines Editor Rosemary O’Leary (oleary@ku.edu).
