Arjen Boin, director of the Stephenson Disaster Management Institute in LSU’s E. J. Ourso College of Business, has been named the North American Editor of Public Administration, a quarterly journal that focuses on public administration, public policy and public management.
Three new members have been appointed to the publication’s editorial advisory board to support Boin and act as ambassadors for the journal in North America: Chris Ansell of the University of California at Berkeley, Frank Baumgartner of Pennsylvania State University and Carole Jurckiewicz of LSU’s Public Administration Institute.
“It is a great honor to fulfill this position,” Boin said. “Public Administration is one of the oldest journals in the field, and it will be a wonderful challenge to enlarge the audience among U.S. academics and practitioners.”
Founded in 1922, Public Administration has a global circulation of more than 3,000 institutions worldwide and seeks to be equally international in its contents. It is ranked fifth in the public administration category of the ISI Journal Citation Report.
The journal seeks to stimulate scholarly and practitioner dialogue in the areas of public administration, public management and policy analysis to encourage critical, comparative analysis, especially of Asian, European, Commonwealth and North American public administration and to publish articles that are theoretically rigorous and of a broad current interest
SDMI was established at LSU’s E. J. Ourso College through a generous pledge by alumni Emmet and Toni Stephenson. The institute’s mission is to help save the lives of people and animals by continuously improving disaster response management through research and education.
