Policy Perspectives represents the George Washington University’s Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration. It consists of two parts: a journal and a blog.

1. The Journal

Policy Perspectives is the public policy and public administration journal published by graduate students at the Trachtenberg School. It publishes scholarly articles on a wide range of topics important to public policy and aims to be accessible to interested readers within and outside the Trachtenberg community.
