Call for Papers: International Journal of Public Leadership

The International Journal of Public Leadership (IJPL) is pleased to announce this new, 2017 Call for Papers, and cordially invites all fellow researchers to submit a paper for publication in this multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal. The deadline for full papers to be submitted is 30th November 2016.

Potential topics include issues that could be considered relevant to the study of leadership in the public sphere, wherever that is located - from government, to communities, non-governmental actors, businesses, political groups, military forces, or individuals. All perspectives on leadership are welcomed and contributions from all disciplines are encouraged, including but not limited to sociology, organisation studies, public administration and policy, political science, psychology, linguistics, law, history, economics, literature and the arts. Papers that offer new empirical research, theory development or testing, comprehensive literature reviews, or rich practitioner accounts are all welcome. Especially interesting would be articles about topics such as: 

• Peace leadership, elected mayors, leadership development in the healthcare sector, and social accountability of public leadership in the Arab region
• And ‘Ethical Leadership in Troubled Times’ and ‘Administrative Leadership and Public Sector Management in Developing Countries’ for the forthcoming Special Issues
