This journal focuses on the study of public administration, examining organizational changes, co-creation initiatives, and transparency in public services. It explores governance logics, resource allocation, and the administration of public art, as well as the evolution of hybrid professionals and the role of middle managers. The journal also investigates trust-based governance, lessons learned from crises, quasi-markets in public service provision, and context adaptation in change processes within public administration.
