About the Journal

Journal of Public Administration and Policy Studies (JPAPS) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing theoretical, empirical, and practice-relevant knowledge in the fields of Public Administration and Policy Studies.

The journal provides an interdisciplinary forum for examining how public institutions, administrative systems, governance arrangements, and societal actors shape the formulation, implementation, evaluation, and outcomes of public policies. It also seeks to advance understanding of how changing policy environments, institutional reforms, technological developments, and societal transformations influence public administration, governance, and public service delivery.

JPAPS encourages scholarship that contributes to the development, refinement, and critical examination of theories, concepts, methods, and practices in public administration and public policy. The journal particularly welcomes studies that bridge theory and practice, provide comparative and cross-national perspectives, address contemporary public problems, and generate insights that are relevant across institutional and geographical contexts.

With an international and interdisciplinary orientation, JPAPS welcomes contributions from scholars, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from all regions of the world. The journal seeks to facilitate scholarly dialogue across countries and disciplines while providing space for research from diverse administrative systems and governance contexts.
