Dear Contributors, potential Contributors and Readers,

NISPAcee launched The NISPAcee Journal of Public Administration and Policy in 2008. Our Journal is predominantly devoted to public administration and public policy issues in Central and Eastern Europe. Our goal is to publish top quality papers based on own empirical research carried out in Central and Eastern Europe, theoretical papers developing general public administration and public policy theory, or their specific dimensions in the region.

We hope to serve all interested parties – academicians, politicians and public officials - to help develop public administration and public policy theory and practice in our region. A high quality standard review process is the principal quality assurance tool of our Journal and our intention is to become one of the top periodicals in the area.

On behalf of NISPAcee, the Journal Editorial and Advisory boards, I invite all interested contributors to submit their papers for consideration or to become a subscriber and member of “our family”.

Juraj Nemec

Editor in Chief
