We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the upcoming issues of the China

Policy Journal. We invite three types of submissions:

 Original Research Papers: These should be between 7,000 and 10,000 words and provide rigorous empirical analyses on policy-related topics in China.

 Review Articles: These should be 6,000 to 9,000 words and offer a comprehensive review of a policy theory or policy topic, preferably within the realm of China policy studies.

 Short Articles: These should be 3,000 to 5,000 words and can take the form of either a research note or a perspective piece. A research note presents a novel theory, argument, or methodology and its application. A perspective piece proposes future directions for an emerging research area and its agenda, or explores a future trend in the field of policy studies, such as the rise of international collaboration.
