Vale Siobhan O’Sullivan
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Associate Professor Siobhan O’Sullivan on 17th June, 2023. Siobhan is remembered for her bubbly personality, excellent research on welfare systems, and tireless advocacy for those who are disadvantaged in different ways. Her passion and service were exemplary, and she paved the way for new researchers in public management, political science, and animal welfare studies.
She co-authored many journal articles on welfare to work reforms, including in PMR where she published work untangling the drivers of employment service provider and jobseeker behaviour in Australia and explaining the providers’ gaming and job seekers’ non-compliance behaviours. Her 2018 PMR article is now available free access until the 30th of September 2023.

*********************************
Public Management Review seeks to:
- explore the developing field of public management
- embrace research both about the strategic and operational management of public services and about social/public policy development and implementation
- encourage in particular work which either presents new empirical knowledge about public management and/or developed theory
- encourage questioning both of the legitimacy and hegemony of the ’new public management’ paradigm and its alternatives, and of the developing pluralism in public management which encompasses the governance of inter-sectoral relationships between government, non-profit and for-profit organisations in the provision of public services.
The remit of Public Management Review is to promote the dissemination and discussion of such research about public management. Its specific target audience is the academic and research community.
Public Management Review is an international journal, seeking to draw together and learn lessons from the development of public management across the world rather than being parochially focused upon one area and encourages cross-national and comparative research papers.
The Journal promotes inter-disciplinary work. Much of the most important work about public management is coming at the cusp of traditional disciplines. Public Management Review promotes such cross-boundary learning and conceptualisation.
This Journal is uniquely placed to offer a leading light on the rapidly developing interest in public management across the world, and especially in Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim. It covers such key issues as:
- social policy making and implementation in the plural state
- inter-sectoral (government non-profit-for profit) relationships
- the evaluation and critique of the ’new public management’ paradigm
- governance institutions and processes
- globalization and convergence in public management
- state reform and structural adjustment, and the operational/ strategic management of public service organisations, including such issues as contracting, marketing and strategic management.
