Journal of Public Policy, Governance and Local Government (JPPG) is a scholarly journal dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research in the fields of public administration, public policy, and local government studies. The journal serves as an academic platform for examining the dynamics of public governance, the formulation and implementation of public policies, and the strengthening of institutional capacities at both national and local levels.
JPPG places primary emphasis on empirical and conceptual research that offers critical analysis, policy innovation, and best practices in public sector governance. The journal seeks to advance theoretical development in public administration while also providing practical recommendations relevant to policymakers, public officials, practitioners, and other stakeholders.
The journal actively encourages interdisciplinary studies that situate local contexts as the foundation of analysis, particularly in areas such as decentralization, regional autonomy, good governance, public service delivery, public sector innovation, and citizen participation in policy processes. By doing so, JPPG aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice in governance across different levels of government.
Through a rigorous peer-review process that upholds high academic standards, JPPG is committed to becoming a credible and authoritative reference for academics, researchers, practitioners, and students. The journal aspires to enrich scholarly discourse and contribute to the development of effective, transparent, accountable, and public-oriented governance.
