Journal History

The Journal of Governance and Social Policy is basically the new face of the previous journal called the Jurnal Program Studi Ilmu Pemerintahan (JPIP) which is registered on ISSN 2548-1428 since 2016. However, in its management, JPIP was not well managed, such as not regularly publishing articles, not being present in the online version, not carrying out the review process properly, and several other things. On the basis of joint considerations, the Department of Government Studies, Universitas Syiah Kuala decided to reborn a new journal with a new manager through more systematic management. Through this spirit of renewal, it is hoped that Journal of Governance and Social Policy will be able to more exist in presenting the best theoretical and research work in its field that has a reputation at the national and even international levels.
