The American Society for Public  Administration (ASPA) is one of the largest and most prominent professional associations for public administration. ASPA serves the principal arena for linking theory and practice within the field  of public administration and the Public Administration Review  (PAR)  is ASPA’s premier publication that links theory and public management practice together. ASPA’s Section on Chinese Public Administration (SCPA)  was established in April 2006 to facilitate academic and practical exchanges among international scholars and practitioners interested in public administration and public policy issues in the Greater China region. Chinese Public  Administration Review  (CPAR) is the section’s official academic journal. For more  information, visit  www.aspanet.org
