CPAR has a new home and welcomes a new editorial team

Dear Members of the Chinese Public Administration Review Community,

We are delighted to announce that the Center for Chinese Public Administration and the School of Government at Sun Yat-sen University is now the new home to Chinese Public Administration Review (CPAR). Under Marc Holzer and Elaine Yi Lu's editorial leadership, CPAR has been included in the Emerging Sources Citation Index and has become one of the most important publication outlets for international scholars addressing Chinese public administration issues and beyond. We are tremendously grateful to Marc and Elaine for their generosity and commitment to excellence to make this editorial transition as smooth as possible.

Originally founded in 1905, the School of Government at Sun Yat-sen University is one of the leading institutions in public administration and political science in China. Its Social Policy and Administration discipline ranks 47^th place worldwide in the 2021 QS report. Together with the Center for Chinese Public Administration, the sole key research base designated by the Chinese Ministry of Education since 2000, we are committed to injecting new energy into traditional studies for good governance and achieving academic excellence with cooperation from renowned public administration institutions and scholars worldwide. 

Our vision for CPAR is grounded in an understanding that the fundamental purpose of academic journals is to expand the literature of intellectual thought and to promote the diffusion of scientific knowledge. We firmly support the idea that CPAR has created an essential pathway for academics and practitioners to advance topics and ideas to tackle the increasingly complex public administration and public policy issues. As such, we respect and encourage theoretical pluralism and methodological diversity to ensure a very high academic standard. 

We are grateful to CPAR’s editorial board, our authors, and our reviewers for the time and commitment they have been contributing to the journal's continued success. As our school and center are determined to turn CPAR into one of the top journals for public administration scholarship, we look forward to working with all of you in the years to come.  

Finally, please join me in welcoming an esteemed group of editors as CPAR enters its 19^th year of publication and a new era of excellence：
