This email is to announce the launch of the Journal of Comparative and International Social Policy.
Kevin Farnsworth and Zoë Irving have recently taken over the journal (formally the Journal of Comparative Social Welfare) as joint editors.
The journal will Publish articles on all dimensions of comparative and international social policy. We hope that papers will enhance and develop theoretical, empirical and methodological insights and knowledge in the field and a greater understanding of different welfare systems and policy actors operating nationally and internationally.
The journal welcomes papers that are comparative and/or international in scope including those that focus on national, world regional or global social policies. Country case studies that locate national welfare systems within a comparative or international context are also welcome. Articles may deal with policy processes as well as welfare outcomes and cover the full range of the 'welfare mix' within social policy.
Because there has been a slight delay in the relaunch, we currently have space in the journal for 2013 publications in time for the REF cut-off date of December.
We hope that you will bear the journal in mind if you have any completed or near-completed papers that you would like us to consider. We would be happy to discuss in more detail potential papers and details regarding turnaround times if you would like to contact us by email: [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
We are also recruiting new members of the Editorial Board. If you are interested, please send us your CV and outline your key research interests.
