Philippine Journal of Public Policy

CONTENT GUIDELINES & HOW TO SUBMIT

The Philippine Journal of Public Policy: Interdisciplinary Development Perspectives serves as a platform to inform, improve, and interrogate public policy in the Philippines and Asia. The journal encourages an interdisciplinary approach to public policy issues, including, but not limited to, institutional practices, state legislation, governance, and the activities of non-state actors, from civil society to the private sector, that shape or inform public policy (e.g. grassroots mobilization)

The journal publishes papers with an eye towards articulating, improving, refining, critiquing, and/or providing complements and/or alternatives to policies and practices that can be implemented by governments, institutions, and/or various stakeholders. We welcome papers that cover at least one of, but need not explicitly invoke, Andrew Heywood’s four areas of policy interventions: policy initiation, policy formulation, policy implementation, and policy evaluation.

The journal welcomes full-length articles, essays, and book reviews on the following topics or themes, including but not limited to the following:

• • Politics, Governance, and Public Administration
  • Economics, Finance, and Budget
  • Infrastructure, Public Works, and Transportation
  • Flooding, Disasters, and Climate Change
  • Environmental and Natural Resource Management (Forestry, Marine, etc.)
  • Foreign Relations
  • Security and Human Rights
  • Engineering, Design, and Urban Planning
  • Digitalization and Technology
  • Communication
  • Development and Security
    
  • Labor and Social Protection
  • Mental Health
  • Law and Legal Education
  • Gender
  • Tourism
  • Humanities and Public Policy
  • Industrial Policy
  • Agriculture and Agrarian Issues; Food Security

  Aiming for as broad a readership as possible, the journal encourages papers that, despite its theoretical/technical complexity, are written in such a way that can be understood, if not appreciated, even by scholars and stakeholders outside a particular discipline.
  

  Comparative studies between the Philippines and other countries, preferably Asia, are welcome, as well as research that cuts across themes and disciplines.
