FOCUS AND SCOPE

The International Journal of Civil Service Reform and Practice (IJCSRP) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, published biannually by the Astana Civil Service Hub (ACSH).

The Journal aims to provide access to global knowledge on civil service reform theory and practice to audiences in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Central Asia, the Caucasus, other ACSH participating countries and beyond, by publishing high quality papers in the field. Specifically, the IJCSRP publishes papers dealing with the topics of civil service reform theory and practice, public sector human resources management and development, public service delivery, and ethics and anti-corruption practices. The Journal accepts manuscripts in the form of research papers, articles, case studies, discussion notes, and book reviews.  

As such, the IJCSRP intends to serve as a bridge between civil service-related scholarship and civil service professionals. Specifically, it strives to inform decision makers and practitioners in the ACSH participating countries, as well as a broader readership of interested academicians and public officials, on the most significant existing and evolving issues in the field of civil service reform and public administration at the regional and global levels.
