What Leading Scholars Are Saying About ATP

"Whether many realize it or not, we are living in a 'golden age' of American Public Administration scholarship. ATP deserves a share of the credit for stimulating this new wave of creative thinking throughout our field. Indeed Tom Catlaw's superb editorial leadership has only enhanced ATP's overall quality and intellectual content. I personally look forward to reading each issue."
-Richard Stillman, University of Colorado, Denver, and Editor, Public Administration Review

"ATP is not only the top journal in public administration theory, it consistently provides some of the most thoughtful and insightful commentaries on contemporary governance issues in this country and around the world. Its contributors are top-notch!"
-Robert Denhardt, Arizona State University

"Administrative Theory & Praxis is one of the highest quality public administration texts. This journal is now on the global stage and the number one reference point for academicians in the area of political thinking and public administration."
-Andrew Kakabadse, Cranfield School of Management, UK

"ATP is a frequent source for articles using innovative approaches such as feminist and other interpretative theories. Over the last decade ATP has proved to be a real pioneer in publishing approaches that subsequently find their way into wide circulation in the field." -Hindy Lauer Schachter, New Jersey Institute of Technology

"ATP brings together new strands of political theory and empirical studies of public administration in way that advances both fields of study."
-Jacob Torfing, Roskilde University, Denmark
