CAPPA Research Map
Research titles in public policy and management from papers at two CAPPA conferences, organized by subject

This page lists the papers presented the First (2012) and Second (2013) Annual  Conferences of CAPPA, the Canadian Association of Programs on Public Administration. It provides an indication of the public management subjects of current interest to Canadian researchers. Note that in addition to the Atlas subjects in the four domains, a "meta domain" has been added at the bottom of the first column, with two field-wide research subjects: Research in Public Policy and Management, and Teaching in Public Policy and Management.
