Let me begin this essay by thanking Soo-Gil Oh for inviting me to introduce the important papers by Michael M. Harmon (2003) and Richard C. Box (2005) on the intellectual history and trajectory of Administrative Theory & Praxis (ATP) and the Public Administration Theory Network (PAT-Net). I also extend thanks to our common friend, Dongjae Jung, a doctoral student at Arizona State University, for putting me in touch with Professor Oh. What I would like to do is in this essay, in addition to introducing the papers by Harmon and Box, is to expand on some of the arguments presented therein and to speculate regarding what I take to be some of the pressing challenges for public administration theory and research and the US PA theory community from my vantage as the current editor of and a contributor to ATP.
My views, of course, may prove to be either overly idiosyncratic or banal. I should add, too, that my comments will be parochial, as I will confine my remarks to the “American” aspects of the evolution of the Network and ATP. To be sure, both have significant international contributors and influences but remain, in my view, dominated by US-based academics—�this needs to change.
With these caveats in mind, I hope these remarks may offer some useful points for future discussion and reflection as this groundbreaking journal, and theoretical and qualitative research evolve in Korea.
