    Book award solicitations from the Section on Public Administration Research of the American Society for Public Administration (attached).    

     

    We welcome nominations (and self-nominations) for books that significantly contribute to research in public administration, and that were published in 2018. The award is open to books published by non-members as well, so this may be of interest to a wider PA community.    The awards are due by January 12.

    Best Book Award

     

    The ASPA Section on Public Administration Research (SPAR) invites your nominations for the SPAR Annual Best Book award.

    This recognition is awarded at the annual ASPA National Conference, this year scheduled for Washington, DC in March 2019. We welcome nominations for books on public administration published in 2018. A subcommittee of SPAR members will review each of the nominations and choose the award winner. 

    The criterion for the award, is a book that significantly contributes to research in public administration.  All research methods are welcomed, as are books across the wide range of public administration research. 

    The deadline for receipt of nominations is January 12, 2019. Nominations should list the book title, author, and publisher, and include a one-page summary outlining the unique contributions of the book. The nomination and a copy of the book should be sent to each member of the nominating committee (see below).
