Journal of Policy and Governance Inquiry (JPGI) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing theoretical, empirical, and practical scholarship at the intersection of public policy, governance systems, and administrative institutions. The journal aims to bridge the gap between rigorous academic inquiry and practical policy implementation across local, national, and global contexts.
