German Policy Studies (GPS) was succeeded in 2014 by European Policy Analysis (EPA).

German Policy Studies (GPS) focused on policy research

​

• • with an emphasis on German speaking countries, issues, and studies (and/or)
• • which takes a comparative approach (and/or)
• • which can build a bridge between Anglo-American and continental European/German policy research

​
