The Journal of Social Policy Studies (JSPS)
http://www.jsps.ru

The Journal of Social Policy Studies provides a forum for scholarly
discussion of different aspects of social  policy in Russia and
abroad. By placing at the center of its analysis  the issues of
contemporary social, economic, political  and cultural transformations
in post-socialist world as well  as the reasons and consequences of such
changes, the Journal seeks to  integrate a wide range of disciplines.

To contribute to the development of social policy as an academic
discipline and to expand a cross-disciplinary  research area in
Russia, the journal will publish  scholarly papers written from critical
perspectives, which will analyze social problems, reflect on the policy
processes and rethink the impact of social policies on inequalities. The
focus of articles ranges from macro-per spective of national and
international social policy to specific cases on regional and
organizational levels.

The JSPS publishes major articles, disciplinary review essays, book
reviews, and special sections, which involve various aspects of social
policy including associated teaching and learning issues. In particular,
the journal welcomes such articles, which integrate conceptual or
theoretical ideas with the use of empirical evidence. It could be an
original article prepared especially for this journal as well as an
already published article, for which it could be possible to have a
permission for translation and publishing it in Russia. The journal
takes on the responsibility of translations from English into Russian.
