The International Journal of Public Leadership (IJPL), in which many conference papers of PUPOL participants has been published over the last few years, has now been accepted for inclusion into Scopus.

This is fantastic news, and is a reflection of the journal’s focus on high quality research, and its contribution to the wider scholarly debate.

Congratulations to Professor Richard Callahan (editor) and Dr Tim Mau (associate editor) for their great work as editors of the journal.

Palgrave recently published a new book in its Public Management and Leadership Series: The 21st Century Public Manager, written by Professor Zeger van der Wal (Assistant Dean and Associate Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore and Endowed Professor of The Government as Labour Organization, Leiden University, the Netherlands).

This timely, state-of-the-art teaching text is designed for aspiring and current public managers enrolled in MPA, MPM, and Executive Education programs.

Truly global in scope and ambition, the 21st Century Public Manager addresses key trends, challenges, and opportunities for public managers across the globe, with an emphasis on the roles, competencies, and values they need to master in order to succeed in 21st century operating environments. The perspectives and strategies provided in this accessibly written book are grounded in the latest empirical evidence, but are translated to the operating environment of the public manager. The book looks well beyond Western settings and perspectives, and thus serves the global market of programs and schools in public management, public administration, and public policy.
