American Review of Public Administration

The American Review of Public Administration is one of the elite scholarly journals in public administration and public affairs. ARPA focuses on public administration broadly defined, publishing scholarship on all aspects of the field, including such areas as organization and management studies, program and performance evaluation, and budgeting and financial management, network governance, public involvement and public service motivation. Although rooted in U.S. public administration, ARPA also carries research from international and comparative settings. The journal has no disciplinary or methodological bias. All manuscripts are subjected to a blind peer-review process prior to acceptance and publication, most within two months’ time.
