The SPA is proud to support three leading international academic journals. Members can access current and back catalogue issues of each journal by logging in to the membership platform SPA Online.
The Journal of Social Policy carries high quality articles on all aspects of social policy in an international context. It places particular emphasis upon articles which seek to contribute to debates on the future direction of social policy, to present new empirical data, to advance theories, or to analyse issues in the making and implementation of social policies.

Journal of International and Comparative Social Policy
The Journal of International and Comparative Social Policy welcomes articles on all dimensions of comparative and international social policy. Papers will enhance and develop theoretical, empirical and methodological insights and knowledge in the field and a greater understanding of different welfare systems and policy actors operating nationally and internationally. We welcome papers that are comparative and/or international in scope including those that focus on national, world regional or global social policies. Country case studies that locate national welfare systems within a comparative or international context are also welcome. Articles may deal with policy processes as well as welfare outcomes and cover the full range of the ‘welfare mix’ within social policy.
Editors: Stefan Kühner, Lingnan University, Hong Kong; Ijin Hong, Sun Yat-sen University, People’s Republic of China; Markus Ketola, University of Edinburgh, UK; Antonios Roumpakis, University of York, UK.
Social Policy Digest (Archive)
The Social Policy Digest was a major online resource providing listings of developments across the whole range of social policy issues between 2002 and 2014. The Digest was published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Social Policy Association. In addition to full coverage of UK developments, the Digest has a new section (December 2010) dealing with pan-European social policy issues. The Digest is a freely accessible resource. Simply go to The Social Policy Digest page. The database of material dates back to 2002 – by the end of 2011 it contained over 33,000 separate items.
