Public Administration was established by the Royal Institute of Public Administration in 1922. When the first issue of the journal was published in 1923, it was published under the banner of the Journal of Public Administration. The aim of the journal was to publish news and research from the field of public administration in order to improve the "efficiency of public services, and the efficiency of public servants." [7] Initially, the journal was edited by state of the Institute, though the journal elected Norman Chester from Nuffield College, Oxford as its first academic editor-in-chief in 1943. After the Institute's closure in 1992, the journal's editor approached Blackwell Publishers about taking over ownership and distribution of the journal to prevent its closure. Currently, the journal is the official journal of the public administration section of the American Political Science Association.
