Development Policy Review (DPR)

Development Policy Review is a peer-reviewed international academic journal that bridges development research and policy practice across a wide range of social sciences. Established in 1966 and published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), the journal focuses on contemporary issues in international development and the implications of research for policy formulation and implementation. It attracts rigorous contributions from economists, political scientists, sociologists, planners, and public policy scholars who examine global and regional development challenges, including poverty reduction strategies, inequality, social exclusion, sustainable livelihoods, governance reform, economic restructuring, globalisation, climate change adaptation, and humanitarian policy frameworks. The journal regularly features thematic special issues as well as original empirical research, conceptual analyses, and policy evaluations designed to inform both academic discourse and real-world decision making. With its interdisciplinary scope, Development Policy Review helps shape debates on how research evidence can influence policy at national and international levels — particularly in contexts of rapid social and economic change. Indexed in major databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, it serves an international readership of researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students engaged in development studies and related fields.
