An Overview of CPAR Publications 2002–2019

ince the initial launch of CPAR in 2002, the journal has published 113 original articles and 8 book reviews. Figure 1 indicates the wide range of topics in public affairs covered in the journal. Performance management registers the greatest number of publications, followed by administrative reform and public policy. Given that one of the most significant reforms since the 1990s is the emphasis of tracking performance in the public sector, it is not surprising to see the concentration of administrative reform and performance management publications.
