Looking back to look forward: The future of public debate of social policy in Australia

Abstract

The Australian Journal of Social Issues is the sole Australian journal concerned with issues of social policy and social justice. Since its first issue in 1961, the AJSI has published a wealth of peer-reviewed scholarship dealing with crucial socialpolicy issues potentially affecting the welfare of Australian citizens. As editors our fundamental vision is to continue to strengthen the journal as a key venue for robust multidisciplinary analysis of issues that inform public debates concerning effective social policy design.
