Public Administration and Public Affairs examines the realities underlying the stereotypes that are brought out by both phrases. Public Administration and Public Affairs is about both the means used to fulfill the public interest, and the human panoply that is the public interest. It keeps up with the tumultuous world of public administration and public affairs and it reports that tumult in a reasonably engaging manner.
