環境政策與規劃雜志是一份國際期刊，為環境政策與規劃的批判性分析提供了一個論壇。它探討了環境方面的共同政策,如空間規劃(城市、農村和海洋)、自然資源管理、農業和糧食,漁業、水、能源和運輸,所有階段的政策從制定到實施和規劃過程中,政府與市場之間的相互作用,非政府組織和企業的戰略與環境、自然資源和土地使用。該雜志邀請來自政治和社會科學，政治經濟學，人文地理學，規劃和文化研究的方法的原始論文。處理下列任何領域的文件特別值得注意:加強對環境政策過程理解的理論指導研究;不同空間層次的環境治理分析研究全球、區域或地方各級對特定環境問題的政治和規劃反應;對政策工具、環境管理和環境與可持續性評價技術的貢獻;跨國學習和政策發展的比較研究和評價。該雜志發表的論文批判性地涉及可應用于環境政策或規劃研究的理論和分析方法，從而有助于更廣泛的辯論。不涉及這類理論和辯論的描述性敘述、案例研究和分析通常不考慮發表。該雜志熱衷于促進跨學科的社會科學視角，包括分析當代環境問題的理論和方法。

The Journal of Environmental Policy & Planning is an international journal that provides a forum for the critical analysis of environmental policy and planning. It explores the environmental dimensions of common policies such as spatial planning (urban, rural and marine), natural resource management, agriculture and food, fisheries, water, energy and transport, all stages in the policy and planning processes from formulation to implementation, and the interactions between governments and markets, the strategies of non-governmental organizations and business in relation to the environment, natural resources and land-use.The Journal invites original papers applying approaches from the political and social sciences, political economy, human geography, planning and cultural studies. Papers addressing any of the following areas are of particular interest: Theoretically guided studies that enhance the understanding of the environmental policy process; Analyses of environmental governance at different spatial levels; Research into political and planning responses to particular environmental problems, on a global, regional or local scale; Contributions on policy instruments, environmental management and environmental and sustainability assessment techniques; Comparative studies and evaluations of cross-national learning and policy development.The Journal publishes papers that critically engage with theories and analytical approaches which can be applied in environmental policy or planning studies and thus contribute to broader debates. Descriptive narratives, case studies and analyses not engaging with such theories and debates are usually not considered for publication. The Journal is keen to promote inter-disciplinary social science perspectives on both the theory and methodology for analyzing contemporary environmental issues.
