Journal of Governance and Public Policy (JGPP) is an open access, peer-reviewed academic journal. Research on governance and public policy has emerged at the forefront of a significant shift in the social sciences. Our aim is to advance knowledge in the field of governance and public policy by publishing timely and original articles that address relevant and critical issues in theory and practices both in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. We address cross-cutting issues, including important new studies on governance at local, national and regional levels, and explores public policy in various aspects, including political, economic, socio-cultural, and health. JGPP welcomes original work and literature reviews that present new models and paradigms from a governance and public policy perspective. Each article we publish is intended to be relevant across national boundaries, addressing issues common to many societies.  Our reviewers come from a range of social science disciplines and countries across five continents, ensuring the rigour and accuracy of analyses that draw on national, regional and global contexts.
