About the Journal of Asian Public Policy
Since its official launch in 2008, JAPP has become one of the major public policy journals with a strong focus on issues related to development, policy and governance in Asia from comparative and international perspectives. JAPP, as one of the key venues for Area Studies, particularly welcomes contributions with strong comparative analysis relevant to current policy debates. Cross-regional studies of Asian interactions with other major global regions, and interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research, are definitely welcome. Articles that do not have an explicit Asian focus will be considered if they have clear relevance to an Asian readership.
