Global Social Policy aims to advance the understanding of the impact of globalisation upon social policy and social development. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of international actors to global social policy discourse and practice and encourages discussion of the implications for social welfare of the dynamics of the global economy. The journal aims to contribute to the making of global social policy and to serve the cause of social justice within and between countries
Global Social Policy publishes scholarly articles and policy-related reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development (broadly defined to include health and disability, social security and social assistance, education, employment, food, crime and security, including gender and ethnic dimensions of these) in the context of globalisation. It welcomes articles from a variety of disciplines that address social issues and policies in the context of an international analytical framework.

Global intergovernmental (e.g. UN, OECD, World Bank, IMF, G7/8, WTO)
World regional (e.g. EU, NAFTA, ASEAN, MERCUSOR)
Transnational (e.g. civil society/social/labour movements, NGOs, consultancy companies and think tanks, private sector welfare providers, TNCs )
Comparative (including policy transfers and lessons)
