Policy Studies is a long-standing journal concerned with public policy and governance.  Like the real world that it studies, the journal itself has undergone many changes since it was launched. From October 2020, I have the great honour of serving as the editor-in-chief.

New papers and special issue proposals are encouraged.

The journal has revised aims and will now consider papers relating to public policy more broadly. An inter-disciplinary approach is very welcome.

It also has a new international editorial board:
