UMBC political science professor Roy T. Meyers has been named recipient of the Frieder Naschold Award for Excellence in Scholarship in the Field of Public Management for his paper “The Remarkable Case of Disappearing Earmarks in the United States: The Limits of Transparency Reforms” (download full pdf).
The Naschold Award recognizes the best paper presented at the conference of the International Public Management Network (IPMN) and is given once every other year. Meyers will formally receive the honor at the IPMN 2013 Conference in Siena, Italy.
Meyers also recently participated in the Memos to National Leaders project, coauthoring four memoranda (full PDF) that outline the bold and practical actions needed to repair our federal budget process. The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) and the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) launched this project to address current policy challenges facing the United States. Their recommendations represent “a consensus of the best thinking by public management practitioners and researchers across the country.”
