Scope/Description:

PolicyPolitics is a worldleading journal that is committed to advancing our understanding of the dynamics of policymaking and implementation.By exploring the interplay between political actors governing institutions and policy issues the journal contributes to theories of the policy process. By reflecting on the evolving context in which these interactions occur it provides critical insights that are timely and fresh.PolicyPolitics has an international reputation in the fields of political science public administration and social policy.It is committed to publishing articles that are original and innovative that engage with the worlds most pressing policy issues and that have relevance both within and beyond academe.The journal welcomes manuscripts that are empirical conceptual or theoretical as long as the broader international relevance of the argument is explicit.It is critical that all articles demonstrate a clear contribution to knowledge and it is crucial that articles are explicit about the specific empirical andor theoretical advance that it offers. One of the hallmarks of the journal is the manner in which its articles generally shift from the micro to the macro or vice versa by addressing the link between policy and politics. For example while singlecase studies might form the basis of an article the broader significance and relevance of that study must be made explicit. Where articles deal with broad macropolitical or economic issues they may also drilldown to some discussion of the microlevel implications of that analysis. Successful articles will generally demonstrate both analytical breadth and depth in the coverage of their subject matter. Articles must be written in a clear and accessible style suitable for a multidisciplinary and global audience.
