Policy and Society is a leading international journal that publishes original and innovative research addressing policy theory and practice at the local, national and international level. It seeks to explore the policy contexts that shape policy processes, the intersection between policy and politics, and the political, social, and economic manifestation of these on policy and society. 
 
Policy and Society offers a unique format for policy scholars, publishing only themed issues and encouraging in-depth, critical analysis of a particular policy area. Policy and Society offers authors the opportunity to publish an authoritative collection of articles addressing contemporary policy problems, issues and debates. Each issue contains 7-10 articles of approximately 7,000 words each. Policy and Society is a fully open access journal with no author publishing charges. 
  
Each issue of Policy and Society is overseen by a guest editor(s). The guest editor(s) is responsible for authoring the introductory article that critically explores the evolution and contours of perspectives specific to the policy topic. The guest editor(s) is responsible for formulating the proposal to the journal and coordinating the contributions.
 
All submissions to Policy and Society are double, blind peer reviewed. The peer review process is managed by the Editors.
