AIRMAP Management Public

What AIRMAP Management Public does

AIRMAP (Association Internationale de Recherche en Management Public) is a French non-profit research association (association loi 1901) founded on 10 September 2010 and headquartered in Nice, France. Its mission is to promote multidisciplinary research in public management by creating networks between individuals and organizations, contributing to the development and dissemination of knowledge in the field, and establishing cooperation with public institutions, public service schools, training institutes, and professional associations. The organization operates with a lean staff of approximately 5 people and no external investors or funding rounds.

AIRMAP's core offerings comprise a portfolio of academic products and services. Its flagship publication is the GMP (Gestion et Management Public) journal, a peer-reviewed quarterly published simultaneously in English and French that achieved rank 2 in the FNEGE management sciences classification in June 2022. The association also publishes RAMAP (Revue Africaine de Management Public), an open-access quarterly launched in 2021 focused on Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. Beyond journals, AIRMAP organizes annual colloquia (the 15th is scheduled for May 2026 in Aix-en-Provence) and associated conferences, runs thesis prize programs (AIRMAP, Thierry GARROT, and Olivier KERAMIDAS prizes), maintains a doctoral community and thesis repository, and co-publishes a book collection with L'Harmattan. Publications are distributed through CAIRN (French), EBSCO (English), and L'Harmattan.

AIRMAP generates revenue primarily through institutional and individual membership fees, journal subscriptions, and minor corporate sponsorships (e.g., Groupe La Poste, Groupe Caisse des Depots). Its institutional member base is anchored by seven French academic partners — Université Côte d'Azur (IAE/CREGO), Université de Poitiers, IPAG, IAE de Lyon, IAE Clermont Auvergne, Université Paris Saclay, and ISM IAE — and it maintains international affiliations with the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), Korean Association for Public Administration (KAPA), Korea Institute of Public Administration (KIPA), and the European Group for Public Administration (EGPA). The association serves academic researchers, doctoral students, and public administration professionals primarily across France, Africa, North America, and Asia, communicating via a 14-language website, newsletter, and social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube).

Direct peers

• International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS): IIAS is an international association headquartered in Brussels focused on administrative sciences and public governance research, publishing journals and organizing international events. Comparable to AIRMAP in its academic and international orientation, though broader in scope.
• Public Management Research Association (PMRA): PMRA is a US-based scholarly association that publishes the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) and hosts an annual research conference. It is the most direct Anglophone peer to AIRMAP's journal-and-conference model in public management.
• European Group for Public Administration (EGPA): EGPA is a Europe-based research network for public administration scholars, organizing an annual conference (Rome 2026) on the same themes as AIRMAP's colloquia. AIRMAP explicitly partners with EGPA, making it the closest direct peer in scope and audience.
• International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA): IASIA is an international association of schools and institutes of public administration operating under IIAS, with a comparable academic-and-professional mission focused on public management education and research networks globally.
• American Society for Public Administration (ASPA): ASPA is the leading US professional association for public administration, publishing Public Administration Review and organizing national conferences. AIRMAP lists ASPA as an international partner, making it a directly comparable professional/scholarly association.
• Association Française de Science Politique (AFSP): AFSP is the French Political Science Association, the dominant French scholarly society covering public policy and administration research, publishing the Revue française de science politique. Comparable in serving as the umbrella scholarly community for French researchers in adjacent fields.
• Korean Association for Public Administration (KAPA): KAPA is the principal Korean scholarly association in public administration, a formal AIRMAP partner. It mirrors AIRMAP's combination of national academic society, journal publication, and international research exchange.

Broad incumbents

• European Academy of Management (EURAM): EURAM is a large European management research association with annual conferences and broad coverage. It overlaps with AIRMAP's management-research focus but operates at a much wider scope, making it a broader incumbent rather than a direct competitor.
