JWP (Jurnal Wacana Politik)

Detail Cakupan

Previously, Jurnal Wacana Politik published two issues annually, with all submitted manuscripts subjected to a rigorous peer-review process. The journal addresses a broad range of empirical issues in political studies, including regional politics and public policy, the relationship between religion and democracy, political campaigns and elections, political economy, electoral systems and political parties, as well as power relations, security studies and political communication. In line with its commitment to enhancing publication quality, editorial governance, and international visibility, Jurnal Wacana Politik has officially migrated its journal management and publishing platform from Open Journal Systems (OJS) to Digital Commons (Elsevier) as of January 2026. This strategic transition aims to strengthen editorial and peer-review workflows, improve the efficiency and transparency of manuscript handling, expand global accessibility and discoverability, and align the journal’s publishing practices with internationally recognized scholarly standards. Editors welcomes contributions from academics, students, government officials, and practitioners from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the form of original research articles and literature reviews. All submissions must adhere to established principles of academic integrity and ethical scholarly writing. Since 2024, Jurnal Wacana Politik has increased its publication frequency to three issues per year, published in January, May, and September.
