环境政策与规划杂志是一份国际期刊，为环境政策与规划的批判性分析提供了一个论坛。它探讨了环境方面的共同政策,如空间规划(城市、农村和海洋)、自然资源管理、农业和粮食,渔业、水、能源和运输,所有阶段的政策从制定到实施和规划过程中,政府与市场之间的相互作用,非政府组织和企业的战略与环境、自然资源和土地使用。该杂志邀请来自政治和社会科学，政治经济学，人文地理学，规划和文化研究的方法的原始论文。处理下列任何领域的文件特别值得注意:加强对环境政策过程理解的理论指导研究;不同空间层次的环境治理分析研究全球、区域或地方各级对特定环境问题的政治和规划反应;对政策工具、环境管理和环境与可持续性评价技术的贡献;跨国学习和政策发展的比较研究和评价。该杂志发表的论文批判性地涉及可应用于环境政策或规划研究的理论和分析方法，从而有助于更广泛的辩论。不涉及这类理论和辩论的描述性叙述、案例研究和分析通常不考虑发表。该杂志热衷于促进跨学科的社会科学视角，包括分析当代环境问题的理论和方法。
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.
