The Royal Institute of Public Administration (RIPA) was a British professional public service institution and civil service training organisation that operated in the United Kingdom and overseas from its founding in 1922 to its closure in 1992.〔Shelley, Ivor (1993) "What Happened to The RIPA?" ''Public Administration'', vol. 71, no. 4.〕 Today, its international training and consulting activities continue with Public Administration International Ltd.〔http://www.public-admin.co.uk/〕 and 'RIPA International Ltd. ==Founding and early years== Founded as the Institute of Public Administration, its mandate was to improve public administration through training, research and the enhancement of professional practice. It was established in 1922 through the Society of Civil Servants with Viscount Haldane〔Nottage, Raymond & Freida Stack (1972) "The Royal Institute of Public Administration, 1922-1939" Public Administration, vol. 50, no. 3.〕 as the first President. British statesman Sir William Beveridge envisioned it as a place where: "Civil Servants may meet regularly to make a national pool of their ideas, to work out techniques of administration, by discussion and papers and so on; to educate themselves and incidentally the public as to what the Civil Service is and does."〔 Membership was open to individual public servants and regional groups were developed at home and overseas. In 1923, the Institute founded the academic journal ''Public Administration'' – the first of its kind. Devised to be "a medium both for instruction and enlightenment",〔 it remains a top-ranked publication in its field.〔Harzing Journal Quality List by title (50th edition, 5 July 2013)〕 Toward the end of the 1920s, the Institute engaged in discussions with academia to deepen its connection with higher learning, and in 1929 the Diploma of Public Administration was established as a joint venture with the University of London.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Institute of Public Administration」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
