Aims and scope
The Journal of Asian Public Policy (JAPP) welcomes contributions with high-quality scholarly work or policy studies focused on Asia, one of the most vibrant regions of the global economy, with economic profiles that grow on an annual basis. East Asian economies that started to develop somewhat earlier, following the Japanese lead, remain among the most important economies in the world. The emergent regions of South and Southeast Asia have many dynamic economic sectors. Public policy, governance and development issues are drawing increasing attention not only from academia but also from the wider business, professional and policy communities.

Since its official launch in 2008, JAPP has become one of the major public policy journals with a strong focus on issues related to development, policy and governance in Asia from comparative and international perspectives. JAPP , as one of the key venues for Area Studies, particularly welcomes contributions with strong comparative analysis relevant to current policy debates. Cross-regional studies of Asian interactions with other major global regions, and interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research, are definitely welcome. Articles that do not have an explicit Asian focus will be considered if they have clear relevance to an Asian readership.

The Editors warmly welcome your submissions. Papers for consideration should be submitted electronically through the online submission system. Authors can send your papers in Word format to: Professor Ka Ho Mok, Editor-in-Chief, at joshuamok@hsu.edu.hk or Zhen Tian, Editorial Assistant, at janetian@ln.edu.hk for consultation before formal submission to the JAPP online system.
