Journal overview

The Journal of Public Affairs Education (JPAE) is dedicated to advancing teaching and learning in public affairs, which includes the fields of public policy analysis, public administration, and public management. Hosted by the School of Government & International Affairs at Kennesaw State University and the Department of Politics & International Affairs at Northern Arizona University, the quarterly journal features peer-reviewed scholarly articles on pedagogical, curricular, and accreditation issues pertaining to public affairs education, commentaries, symposia, and book reviews.

JPAE is the official journal of the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA). The journal is dedicated to advancing the scholarship of public administration education. Public affairs is a field of practice, and as practitioners and scholars, we need to engage continually in discussions that seek to strengthen instruction. JPAE fulfills a vital role in our field by serving as the top research journal for this dialogue on pedagogy. Thus, the mission of the journal is to be a forum for scholarly discussions on teaching public affairs programs.

The journal welcomes manuscripts that report research on pedagogy in public affairs programs; the administration of public affairs programs; issues facing instructors in the classroom; trends in the field of public administration; case studies that illustrate public administration principles in practice; and other vital topics.

Peer Review Policy: All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors-in-Chief, and if, found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by at least two independent and anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double-anonymous.
