JAKPP (JURNAL ANALISIS KEBIJAKAN DAN PELAYANAN PUBLIK)
JAKPP is a peer-reviewed academic journal that aims to offer an international academic platform for advancing critical and contextualized scholarship in public policy and public service, with a distinctive focus on non-Western public administration paradigms. The journal provides a platform for exploring how public governance systems rooted in local norms, postcolonial traditions, and indigenous institutions function, evolve, and respond to global administrative trends.
We welcome original research articles, critical essays, and case-based policy analyses that interrogate mainstream public administration doctrines and offer alternative models of governance grounded in Global South experiences—particularly from Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
JAKPP encourages interdisciplinary and comparative approaches, particularly those that challenge dominant public administration theories with grounded empirical evidence and rich contextual insights. The journal aspires to become a key reference for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to reimagine public administration through non-Western epistemologies.
JAKPP publishes three annual issues, which are published in March, July, and November.

Aims
The primary objective of the JAKPP is to disseminate unique scholarly content through a rigorous peer-review process. The JAKPP emphasizes examining and critically assessing public policy, public service, and public administration processes from a non-Western public administration perspective.
Scope
- Critical studies of non-Western models of public policy formulation and implementation, including the role of informal institutions and customary law.
- Analyses of public service delivery in multicultural and decentralized settings, especially where modern administration coexists with traditional governance.
- Explorations of indigenous and hybrid governance systems, including adat institutions, village autonomy, or customary decision-making structures.
- Administrative reform, bureaucratic culture, and governance innovations in postcolonial or transitional states.
- Case studies in community-based service design, participatory planning, and citizen-centered service governance in developing regions.
- The politics of decentralization and the practice of regional autonomy through locally embedded administrative values.
- Comparative perspectives on administrative theory and praxis beyond the Western canon, including the influence of religion, kinship systems, and collectivist traditions in administrative behavior.
- Policy critiques addressing challenges in public sector ethics, transparency, and responsiveness in non-Western societies.
