Welcome to the Journal of Policy History

The Journal of Policy History is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed academic journal concerned with the application of historical perspectives to public policy studies. The journal encourages submissions researching the formation and development of public policy, in which diverse methods and theories are applied to public policy and politics within a historical perspective. While seeking to inform scholars interested in policy history, the journal also seeks to inform policy makers through a historical approach to public policy.
