Philippine Journal of Public Policy: Interdisciplinary Development Perspectives

The Philippine Journal of Public Policy: Interdisciplinary Development Perspectives (PJPP) (ISSN 2672-3352 (print) / 2704-2847 (online)) (DOI: doi.org/10.54096/MJEF7942) is the annual peer-reviewed journal of the University of the Philippines Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS) released in print and online.

The PJPP takes off from the Public Policy Journal (PPJ), which was launched in 1997 by then UP President Emil Javier to serve as one of the university’s contributions to public policy discourse from a multidisciplinary perspective. The journal has published key research projects conducted by university faculty members across the UP System and has evolved to be a platform for examining contemporary social, cultural, economic, and political issues in the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.

Teresa S. Encarnacion Tadem, Ph.D., Professor at the UP Department of Political Science and Executive Director of UP CIDS, currently serves as the journal’s Editor-in-Chief. To maintain academic rigor, scholars affiliated with globally renowned institutions from various disciplines serve as its peer reviewers, as needed

AIMS AND SCOPE

The PJPP promotes the broadening of discourse on public policy to accommodate more dynamic contemporary policy realities in the Philippines as well as in developing and/or industrialized countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia. The PJPP publishes policy research covering the following major themes: education, paradigms of development, social and political change, strategic studies, ethnicity and religion, health, and science and technology. The PJPP also accommodates scholarly work on issues such as peace and conflict transformation, migration, constitutional change, and disaster risk reduction and management.

Maintaining its preference for interdisciplinary research, the PJPP welcomes theoretical articles containing relevant literature, well-designed and analyzed empirical studies, and policy studies that are widely applicable.
