Requirements for Submission
The submissions period for the Spring 2021 Issue is now open. We will select submissions on a rolling basis until January 4, 2021. The theme for the journal is policy responses to crises. These may take the form of a recommended policy response to a public problem or an analysis of how effective current policies are with a portion that addresses their resilience to potential crises. Our definition of a crisis is broad enough to include many different potential topics or forms.
