Dr Ian C Elliott

I am a Senior Lecturer of Public Administration at the Centre for Public Policy, University of Glasgow and co-Editor-in-Chief of Public Administration and Development.

My research focuses on the strategic state, including wellbeing approaches to government, and leadership development in government, including the teaching of public administration. I have been published in many of the top public administration and public policy journals and am a member of four editorial boards.

I am current co-Editor-in-Chief of Public Administration and Development, a Q1 academic journal, that specialises in public administration in non-Western contexts particularly as they relate to development processes including sustainable development.

You can learn more about the 75+ year history of Public Administration and Development in this short editorial.

From January 2021-December 2024 I served as Honorary Chair of the Joint University Council (JUC). This was the UK learned society for public administration, public policy and social work encompassing the PAC and SWEC. Their Public Administration Committee (PAC) became the UK Association for Public Administration in 2024. You can find out more about their work here: https://www.ukapa.org.uk/

I have been commissioned by a number of organisations to run training courses and have been invited to speak at numerous academic and professional events including for Higher Education Academy, MacKay Hannah and Holyrood Events. I have also written for trade and popular press including The Conversation, Scottish Policy Now, Public Sector Executive and The Scotsman.
