Reforming to Recover [PDF 720 KB]
Issue 13 Volume 13 - September 2022

This edition of the Queen’s Policy Review examines the pandemic in terms of social, economic, and structural change. Topics include challenges faced by Canada’s international students, economic shocks felt through remittance payments, and the lasting impact on non-profit organizations. These articles demonstrate the intersectionality of areas of policy and levels of government and how they interact with pandemic support.

Reforming to Recover is a title that encapsulates the positive outlook that the Queen’s Policy Review is looking to create from the challenges of the pandemic. From a policymaking lens, the idea of recovery from the pandemic can be daunting. With that being said, the opportunity to reform policies and programs that have been highlighted as needing improvement by the pandemic is a productive and encouraging perspective we hope to inspire you with.

Public Policy word cluster (jpg)QPR was established in 2009. The goal of the journal is to provide a venue for outstanding work by graduate students in the fields of public policy and governance. Past publications have covered a diverse array of topics from contributing authors at several different schools across Canada. 

In order to gain a broader, more interdisciplinary perspective on policy issues, we have expanded the list of departments that receive our call for papers from 73 to over 200. Accordingly, we hope to encourage what may be considered "non-traditional" disciplines to engage with contemporary policy questions.
