Dear Colleagues and Members of the JCPA and ICPA-Forum Scholarly Society, 

I hope that you and your families are safe and well and are taking all precautions. Please see below editorial and membership decisions by JCPA  and Routledge/Taylor & Francis, and the Forum’s leadership to meet the needs of the times:

  • We assure all submitting authors that the reviewing process continues as before. We strive to maintain the same fast track reviewing process.

  • We thank our Associate Editors and reviewers as well as the Routledge/Taylor & Francis Editorial Office for their committed involvement at this time. 

  • The JCPA has moved to publishing six issues per year given a recent increased number of submissions. Two to three of the annual issues will be Special Issues. Dean Leslie Pal, JCPA Executive Editor, is in charge of Special Issues.

  • We are interested in a Special Issue on COVID-19 Policy Responses. The Special issue, will be free to access for a month on publication and will have reviewing and publication priority. 

  • All articles published in 21-2 will be FREE ACCESS for a month after publication. Please connect to the JCPA Alerts to be notified on publication. For any questions regarding this publication and future publications, please approach JCPA Coordinator, Shawn Drake (ShawnDrake@cmail.carleton.ca).

  • At this time, we are proceeding with the 18th Annual Workshop: What Does Comparative Policy Analysis Have to Do With the Structure, Institution and Agency Debate? convened by Prof. Caner Bakir on September 10-12, 2020 at Koç University, Istinye Campus, Istanbul, Turkey. The Call for Papers is available here.
  • Sponsored by the JCPA and ICPA-Forum, the four volume Series titled CLASSICS OF COMPARATIVE POLICY ANALYSIS, is now out and available here.

  • A massive endeavor, the Series consists of selected articles in the JCPA over 20 years per topic: methodology and theory, regional comparisons, policy domains, policy analysis and institutions.

  • The Series contains a Foreword by Lawrence E. Lynn, an Introduction by Iris Geva-May, B. Guy Peters and Joselyn Muhleison (Series Editors), and a new original chapter in each volume respectively on interdisciplinary (public policy, administration, political science) comparisons for lesson drawing by JCPA Co-editors: B.
