Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

The IJPP proposes and fosters discussion on public policy issues facing nation states and national and supranational organisations, including governments, and how these diverse groups approach and solve common public policy problems. The emphasis will be on governance, accountability, the creation of wealth and wellbeing, and the implications policy choices have on nation states and their citizens. This perspective acknowledges that public policy choice and execution is complex and has ramifications on the welfare of citizens; and that, despite national differences, the actions of nation states are constrained by policies determined by supranational bodies, some of which are not directly accountable to any international body.

 Go Top  Objectives

The objectives of IJPP are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the complex role of public policy in society. It also aims to promote and disseminate reflection on debates and critiques of developments in the field of public policy, including factors impacting governance, accountability, and the determination and implementation of policy. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome cultural, political, economic and national barriers, and to meet the needs of policy makers.

 Go Top  Readership

IJPP provides a vehicle to help governments, parliaments, public servants, professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers and those implementing public policy to disseminate information and to learn from each other’s work.
