The Istituto per la Scienza dell'Amministrazione pubblica (Isap) aims to explore public administration covering a wide-range of scientific disciplines (law, sociology, political, financial and comparative studies, and history) in order to promote a high degree of knowledge of current transformations. Being the only publication in Italy to focus on such a fundamental multidisciplinary perspective, Amministrare has contributed to analyse topics related to local, regional and central administration. Every year, in addition to the three main issues, the special issue Storia Amministrazione Costituzione is published in order to provide an in-depth examination of different topics and their evolution.

The journal ceased publication in 2019.
