“Policy & Politics has become a leading journal tackling policy issues concerning East Asia as well as other parts of the world. It now provides an indispensable academic forum for Asian policy practitioners and academics.” Professor Huck-ju Kwon, Seoul National University, Korea

"Broad in scope and empirically grounded, Policy & Politics delves into the most pressing issues of the day. This widely-cited journal offers original analyses and lively debate by prominent academics in the field - mandatory reading for social and public policy scholars."
Neil Gilbert, Chernin Professor of Social Welfare, University of California, Berkeley

"The breadth of its coverage, in terms of issues and jurisdictions, and the quality and relevance of its contributions makes Policy & Politics essential reading for all scholars with an interest in policy debate, development, implementation and impact."
Professor Peter Saunders, Social Policy Research Centre, University of New South Wales, Australia

Policy & Politics conference September 2013

This year's Policy & Politics conference Transforming Policy & Politics: The Future of the State in the 21st Century will take place in Bristol on 17th-18th September.

The conference will seek to address the following questions: What challenges do recent global and domestic events pose for public and social policy?; how are the state, public organisations, non-governmental organisations and citizens responding; what are the implications for democracy, politics and public services?; and what is the future of the welfare state? For more information, please see the conference website.
