The primary aim of the Journal of European Public Policy is to provide a comprehensive and definitive source of analytical, theoretical and methodological articles in the field of European public policy. Focusing on the dynamics of public policy in Europe, the journal encourages a wide range of social science approaches, both qualitative and quantitative.

JEPP defines European public policy widely. Authors are welcome to e-mail an abstract to the Editor, prior to formal submission, if they need guidance on the appropriateness of their proposed article, as JEPP welcomes innovative ideas and approaches. The main areas covered by the Journal are as follows:

• Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of public policy in Europe and elsewhere
• National public policy developments and processes in Europe
• Comparative studies of public policy within Europe
• The public policy interface between nation states and the EU
• The EU itself - institutions, processes and policies
• The activities of private actors and associations in the policy process

In addition, JEPP also publishes a Research Agenda section (edited by Berthold Rittberger, University of Mannheim, Germany). Each review article looks at a number of recent publications in a specific sub-area of European public policy making, as a means of contributing to debate. Occasional articles also review the 'European' literature from scholars of a particular European country.
