Public Administration Quarterly (PAQ)

Public Administration Quarterly (PAQ) is an established, international scholarly journal committed to advancing research and practice in public administration and its related fields. First issued under its current name in 1983, PAQ evolved from the earlier Southern Review of Public Administration and has since maintained its status as a key venue for rigorous, peer-reviewed scholarship that connects theory with real-world administrative challenges. The journal’s scope encompasses a broad array of topics including public management, organizational behavior in the public sector, public policy analysis, governance mechanisms, and the societal impacts of administrative action. PAQ encourages diverse research methodologies — quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, historical, and theoretical — and is particularly interested in multidisciplinary work that sheds light on contemporary public administration issues in varying national and cultural contexts. Its quarterly publication schedule ensures a consistent flow of high-quality content, featuring not only research articles but also special issues, scholarly debates, and practitioner perspectives. PAQ is affiliated with Sage Journals and the Southern Public Administration Education Foundation, reflecting its long-standing contribution to the field and its role in fostering dialogue between academic inquiry and practice in public affairs globally.
