Policy Studies

REVIEW PROCESS & SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions should address a contemporary, broadly policy relevant issue, puzzle, or problem and provide a new insight or argument.

Submissions: Submissions may take the form of a proposal or completed manuscript.

Proposal: A five-page proposal indicating the issue, problem, or puzzle to be analyzed, its policy significance, the novel perspective to be provided, and date by which the manuscript will be ready. The series editor and two relevant experts will review proposals to determine their suitability for the series. The manuscript, when completed, will be peer reviewed in line with the double-blind process.

Complete Manuscript: Submission of a complete 18,000- to 24,000-word manuscript should be accompanied by a two- to three-page abstract that sets out the issue, problem or puzzle analyzed, its policy significance, and the novel perspective to be provided by the paper. The series editor and two relevant experts will review the abstract. If considered suitable for the series, the manuscript will be peer reviewed in line with the double-blind process.

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. The East-West Center will have copyright over material published in the series. A CV indicating relevant qualifications and publications should accompany submissions.

Notes to Contributors:

Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, with notes double-spaced at the end. Citations should be embedded in text with minimum endnotes and a complete bibliography. Use of double quotes, and single spacing after punctuation is desirable. All artwork should be camera ready. Please follow requirements in the Policy Studies stylesheet. Authors should refrain from identifying themselves in their proposals and manuscripts. Submissions should be sent to:
