IPMN Status Update
IPMN membership has grown to 825 members from more than 80 nations. Membership can be accessed at www.inpuma.net under members. The membership list is a handy way to locate colleagues in other nations where you may be visiting to conduct research or teach. Scholarly networking through IPMN has proven successful for a number of members.
Begun in 1996, IPMN has membership has increased steadily from a core group of about 40 who attended our first conference in St. Gallen, Switzerland in June 1996. Annual IPMN conferences and workshops have been held subsequently in Potsdam, Germany (1997), Salem, Oregon USA (1998), Siena, Italy (1999), Sydney, Australia (2000), Wellington, New Zealand (2000), Odense, Denmark (2001) and again in Siena (2002). The 2003 Workshop will be held in Monterey, California. Planning is underway for future events in Brazil in 2004, Thailand in 2005 and St. Gallen in 2006. IPMN's two journals have been well received. The International Public Management Journal, edited by Fred Thompson (fthompso@willamette.edu) is one of the premier journals in the field. IPMJ is publishing in its sixth year and members recently have received volume 6, no. 1 from our publisher Information Age Publishers www.infoage@infoagepub.com). Our e-journal, The International Public Management Review, edited by Lawrence R. Jones and Kuno Schedler is available at www.ipmr.net.
The IPMJ editorial board, composed of more than fifty of the leading scholars in public management from around the globe, and Information Age Publishers hope that you will ask your library to order our print journal as part of your permanent serials collection (www.infoage@infoagepub.com). Our online journal will remain free to all. No special code is required to access IPMR. The Editors of both journals encourage public management scholars to submit their work for publication consideration to either Fred Thompson or to L. R. Jones and Kuno Schedler at ipmnet@aol.com.
IPMN and ASPA's Section on Comparative and International Administration Join to Sponsor IPMJ.
IPMN and the Section on Comparative and International Administration
(SICA is a section of the American Society for Public Administration)
have joined together to sponsor publication of the International Public
Management Journal. SICA members will receive IPMJ as part of their membership
benefits when they join the Section and ASPA. To represent SICA, three
new members have been added to the IPMJ editorial board. They are Donald
Klingner, Jennifer Brinkerhoff and Jos Raadschelders, University of Oklahoma.
IPMN is very pleased to become formally affiliated with SICA and ASPA
in sponsorship of IPMJ. SICA Chair Professor Donald Klingner, University
of Colorado at Colorado Springs, was instrumental in forging this link
between the Section, IPMN and ASPA. ASPA formally approved the IPMJ sponsorship
agreement at its winter meeting in Washington D.C. in December 2002. IPMJ
encourages members
to join and become active in SICA and ASPA. SICA has a long and illustrious
history as ASPA's first section stablished in 1963. SICA is composed of
approximately 300 scholars from a broad representation of nations and
includes members who work in the area of development management and administration
as well as those with primary research focus on comparative administration.
Preparation of a special SICA issue of IPMJ on development
management edited by Professor Donald Klingner and Professor Jennifer
Brinkerhoff at George Washington University is underway. Scholars interested
in submitting papers for review for the special issue should send their
work to professor Klingner at DEKlingner@aol.com or Jennifer Brinkerhoff
at leading professional public administration association in the United
States with a membership of approximately 15,000. One of the benefits
of ASPA membership is receiving ASPA's journal, Public Administration
Review, one of the world's leading journals in the field.
