The 2024 APJPA Best Article Prize is presented to Fernandez, S., Malan, L. P., Holtzhausen, N., & Tshiyoyo, M. M. for their article titled “To what extent does corruption erode trust? Evidence of reputational spillovers from ten countries in the Southern African Development Community” published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration, Volume 46, Issue 2, pages 113–137.

The award-winning article was chosen by the journal editors and Editorial Board, from a pool of 19 articles published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration in 2024.

Political corruption undermines trust in politics, as is widely acknowledged. However, an intriguing question arises: Can corruption by one policy actor influence trust in others?

This article delves into research and theories on the collective reputation of organisations, among other literature, to explain why political corruption can produce reputational spillovers.

The article will be added on the APJPA website to the collection of award winners, which dates to 2014. Please stay tuned for updates.

Starting with the March 2014 Issue, Routledge (Taylor and Francis) has become responsible for the publication of the Asia Pacific Journal of Public Administration in partnership with the Department of Politics and Public Administration, which remains its owner and editorial home.
