American Review of Public Administration

The American Review of Public Adminstration (ARPA) aspires to be the premier academic journal in the field of public affairs and public administration. As a peer-reviewed journal with the combined goals of advancing the knowledge of public administration and improving its practice, ARPA features articles that address rapidly emerging issues in public administration and public affairs and is open to both traditional and nontraditional apporaches. ARPA has no methodological bias other than a preference for an analytical approach to the issue(s) being addressed. Of particular interest are theory-based empirical research, commentaries on pressing issues, reviews or syntheses of research, and conceptual/theoretical discussions on or over the boundaries of traditional public administration.

American Review of Public Adminstration (ARPA) 立志成为公共事务和公共行政领域的顶级学术期刊。作为一本同行评审期刊，ARPA 的共同目标是推进公共行政知识并改进其实践，其刊物文章探讨公共行政和公共事务中迅速出现的问题，并接受传统和非传统方法。ARPA 除了倾向于采用分析方法处理正在讨论的问题之外，没有任何方法论偏见。特别感兴趣的是基于理论的实证研究、对紧迫问题的评论、研究评论或综合，以及关于或超越传统公共行政界限的概念/理论讨论。
