Policy Design and Practice

Policy Design and Practice (PDP) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal publishing cutting-edge, authoritative thinking on the key issues facing policymakers around the world. PDP is written primarily for practitioners, but also seeks to appeal to scholars, journalists, and others with a broad interest in public policy issues across diverse sectors, countries, and regions. The journal covers a wide range of topics, from economic and social policy to international systems and local governments. PDP publishes original research articles, case studies, and systematic surveys that challenge existing thinking on policy issues. Manuscripts should synthesize existing research in an easily accessible and digestible form. We welcome proposals for thematic special issues as well as unsolicited submissions relevant, timely policy issues. Author guidance and submission guidelines are available at: https://bit.ly/PDPinstructions. PDP is edited by Michael Howlett (Simon Fraser University) and M Ramesh (National University of Singapore), and supported by a grant from the Asian Development Bank. PDP is indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Web of Science's Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), and Scopus.
