I am honored to assume the role of Chief Editor of the Journal of Public Administration, Public Affairs and Management. As a scholar in the field of public administration, I look forward to working closely with the editorial board, reviewers, authors, and readers to further strengthen the journal as a trusted platform for rigorous, innovative, and policy‑relevant scholarship. Building on the strong foundation established by previous editorial leadership, my vision is to enhance the journal’s contribution to advancing knowledge and practice in public administration, public affairs, and management, while encouraging interdisciplinary perspectives and diverse methodological approaches.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Professor Anchana NaRanong, the former Chief Editor of the journal, for her outstanding leadership and dedication. Her contributions to the journal’s academic direction, editorial management, and overall development have played a vital role in strengthening its quality and reputation.
Moving forward, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity, transparency, and scholarly excellence in all aspects of the publication process. The journal will continue to emphasize high‑quality research that demonstrates strong validity and reliability and contributes meaningfully to both theory and practice. I warmly invite scholars and practitioners from Thailand and the international community to submit their work and engage with the journal as we strive to enhance its quality, visibility, and impact in the field.
All the best
Associate Professor Dr. Boon-Anan Phinaitrup
