The Journal of African Policy Studies is a peer-reviewed publication that publishes articles and research concerned with global, regional, and domestic policy issues on Africa.

The Journal's aims are to:

• Critically and analytically assess a wide range of issues relating to African public policy.
• Publish articles and review books that are relevant to both scholars and practitioners involved in policy making and doing policy analysis relevant to Africa.
• Disseminate findings, opinions, and recommendations to the relevant audience.

The Journal is interdisciplinary in scope and welcomes articles, review essays, and research notes dealing with all levels of public policy as they relate to Africa.  These pieces may be in the form of case studies, comparative analysis, or theory construction. The main criteria for acceptance of an article is that it be of high intellectual quality, original, and be focused on some aspect of African public policy, including policy institutions, processes, or policy impacts. There is no restriction in terms of policy areas
