Focus and Scope

The Journal i Parentah aims to serve as a leading platform for the publication of high-quality research and practical insights into the realm of governance science studies. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that provide specific, evidence-based contributions to understanding how governance science studies is transforming various disciplines. Our focus and scope cover the following areas:

Public Policy
We are interested in manuscripts that analyze, implement, and evaluate public policies that shape governance processes. Submissions may include research on the formulation of policy frameworks, the effectiveness of policy implementation in addressing societal issues, and the impact of such policies on economic, social, and political systems. Studies exploring policy outcomes, comparative analyses of governance policies across regions, and innovations in policy-making processes are also encouraged.

Government Management
We invite manuscripts that focus on strategies for managing governmental organizations to improve the quality and efficiency of public service delivery. Topics of interest include innovative leadership approaches within government institutions, resource management strategies, performance measurement systems, and the application of technology to enhance administrative processes. Case studies highlighting successful management practices in various governance contexts are particularly welcome.

Democracy and Public Participation
This section seeks research that examines the role of public participation in governance and its contribution to strengthening democracy. We encourage submissions that explore mechanisms for increasing citizen engagement, the impact of participatory governance models, and strategies for enhancing transparency and accountability in decision-making. Comparative studies on democratic practices and the influence of public participation on policy outcomes are highly valued.

Decentralization and Regional Autonomy
We welcome research that delves into the dynamics of decentralization and regional autonomy as mechanisms for improving governance and promoting local development. Submissions may include case studies on the implementation of autonomy policies, the challenges of managing decentralized systems, and their socio-economic impacts on local communities. Research highlighting innovative practices for fostering regional cooperation and ensuring equitable resource distribution is also of interest.

Governance Innovation
We are interested in manuscripts that explore cutting-edge innovations in governance at local, national, and international levels. This includes studies on the application of digital technologies to governance, innovative approaches to problem-solving within government systems, and the impact of public-private partnerships on governance practices. Research that highlights successful governance innovations and their potential for replication in other contexts is highly encouraged.

The Journal i Parentah encourages submissions that utilize interdisciplinary approaches and empirical research methods. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive case studies, systematic literature reviews, and theoretical papers that offer practical implications and actionable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of governance science studies and its transformative effects across various fields.
