CROATIAN AND COMPARATIVE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Croatian and Comparative Public Administration (CCPA) is a well-indexed international scholarly journal, published on a quarterly basis. It was launched in 1999 by the Institute for Public Administration and is co-published by the Faculty of Law of the University of Zagreb, Croatia.

CCPA publishes papers dealing with public administration, public management, and public governance, with a special focus on theoretical development and empirical research. The journal promotes the highest quality of published papers and fully expects the authors and all others involved in the publication process to adhere to the highest ethical standards. A highlight of the journal is its comparative approach, which enables policy learning and transfer across Europe and worldwide.

Papers are accepted following a double-blind review process and the decision of an international editorial board. Papers are published in English, with occasional publication in Croatian and other languages. CCPA welcomes papers from all over the world. The journal would like to see more contributions from underrepresented groups such as young and postdoctoral researchers, women in science and research, and authors who are conducting their research in less than favourable circumstances. However, criteria for paper acceptance are identical for all authors.
