Editor’s Message to CAPAM Colleagues: Update on PAD Jubilee and Beyond In this issue, we are happy to present the first of a series of selected papers (by Milton Esman, Deryck Brown and Carl Baar) that were presented to the PAD Jubilee Conference. As many of you will recall, the Jubilee Conference was held at St Anne’s College, Oxford, 12–14 April, 1999 and attended by 165 persons from 41 countries and addressed by over 60 distinguished speakers drawn from government, academia, the donor and consultancy communities and NGO sector. Fittingly, the next issue of PAD (19.5), the last in this century, will be devoted to the 6 retrospective papers on the Past Fifty Years of PAD by Hubert Allen, Ian Blore, John Hailey, Edward Warrington, A. H. M. Kirke-Green and Ron Clarke. In parallel, our publishers, John Wiley and Sons Ltd, have in press a landmark publication comprising other key papers under the title: Applying Public Administration in Development: Guideposts to the Future. Details of this publication are to be found on the adjacent pages. By courtesy of a generous grant from the UK Dept for International Development, which also supported other aspects of the preparation of both retrospective papers and the book, the latter is being made available through CAPAM at a special price, especially for members from developing and transitional countries. As mentioned in my feature article on the Jubilee Conference in CAPAM Newsletter Commonwealth Innovations (Vol. 5 No. 1 1999), the Jubilee was also a time for reflection on the content, style and outreach of PAD over its next fifty years. The year 2000 will thus see a relaunch of the journal in a new format with many additional and exciting features. PAD’s 4 years of association with CAPAM has been a fruitful one. Even before that association was formally instituted, PAD carried a special issue entitled Government in Transition (Vol 15.3, 1995) on the inaugral conference of CAPAM held in Prince Edward Island, Canada in August, 1994. Subsequently, 2 symposia/special issues were published: Selected Experiences of good practice in Commonwealth public management (16.4, 1996) and The New Public Administration: Global Challenges—Local Solutions (17.1., 1997) on 1996 Biennial (Malta) CAPAM Conference. Vol. 18.5 carried the keynote speeches of Dr Mahathir, Prime Minister of Malaysia and Lord Nolan (UK) delivered to the 1998 Kuala Lumpur CAPAM Biennial Conference. Additionally, PAD’s Professional Develop- ments Section has covered CAPAM conferences held in Malaysia (1995), Caribbean (1995), Seychelles (1997), New Zealand (1998) and India (1999). Although the formal association of PAD with CAPAM will conclude in December 1999, as a founding CAPAM member, I look forward to continued professional inter- action and exchange with you all as PAD readers and contributors over the coming years. I therefore invite all CAPAM member subscribers to PAD to contact me for details, for a specially discounted subscription rate for 2000.

In this issue, we are happy to present the ®rst of a series of selected papers (by MiltonEsman, Deryck Brown and Carl Baar) that were presented to the PAD JubileeConference. As many of you will recall, the Jubilee Conference was held at St Anne'sCollege, Oxford, 12±14 April, 1999 and attended by 165 persons from 41 countries andaddressed by over 60 distinguished speakers drawn from government, academia, thedonor and consultancy communities and NGO sector.

Fittingly, the next issue of PAD (19.5), the last in this century, will be devoted to the 6retrospective papers on the Past Fifty Years of PAD by Hubert Allen, Ian Blore, JohnHailey, Edward Warrington, A. H. M. Kirke-Green and Ron Clarke. In parallel, ourpublishers, John Wiley and Sons Ltd, have in press a landmark publication comprisingother key papers under the title: Applying Public Administration in Development:Guideposts to the Future. Details of this publication are to be found on the adjacent pages.By courtesy of a generous grant from the UK Dept for International Development, whichalso supported other aspects of the preparation of both retrospective papers and thebook, the latter is being made available through CAPAM at a special price, especially formembers from developing and transitional countries.

As mentioned in my feature article on the Jubilee Conference in CAPAM NewsletterCommonwealth Innovations (Vol. 5 No. 1 1999), the Jubilee was also a time for re¯ectionon the content, style and outreach of PAD over its next ®fty years. The year 2000 will thussee a relaunch of the journal in a new format with many additional and exciting features.

PAD's 4 years of association with CAPAM has been a fruitful one. Even before thatassociation was formally instituted, PAD carried a special issue entitled Government inTransition (Vol 15.3, 1995) on the inaugral conference of CAPAM held in Prince EdwardIsland, Canada in August, 1994. Subsequently, 2 symposia/special issues were published:Selected Experiences of good practice in Commonwealth public management (16.4, 1996)and The New Public Administration: Global ChallengesÐLocal Solutions (17.1., 1997) on1996 Biennial (Malta) CAPAM Conference. Vol. 18.5 carried the keynote speeches ofDr Mahathir, Prime Minister of Malaysia and Lord Nolan (UK) delivered to the 1998Kuala Lumpur CAPAMBiennial Conference. Additionally, PAD's Professional Develop-ments Section has covered CAPAM conferences held in Malaysia (1995), Caribbean(1995), Seychelles (1997), New Zealand (1998) and India (1999).

Although the formal association of PAD with CAPAM will conclude in December1999, as a founding CAPAM member, I look forward to continued professional inter-action and exchange with you all as PAD readers and contributors over the coming years.I therefore invite all CAPAM member subscribers to PAD to contact me for details, for aspecially discounted subscription rate for 2000.
