Call for panels: 1st International Conference on Public Policy, 26-28 June 2013, Grenoble / France

Invitation:

Over the past thirty years, public policy research has grown as an academic field of study in many countries. Coming from a range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, including political science, public administration, geography, sociology, economics and law among others, this research has helped develop our understanding on the many phenomena related to public policy-making by governments. In order to join together all of the researchers who work on public policy and their different approaches and topics, the first International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP) will take place at Science Po Grenoble, 26-28 June 2013.

The conference is sponsored by six Research Committees of the InternationalPolitical Science Association which work on different aspect of public policy, and by the Public Policy sections of the European Consortium for Political Research and the American Political Science Association.

During this conference, opportunities will be provided for both junior andsenior researchers from a variety of disciplines to present and discuss new research, theoretical, conceptual and methodological insights and empirical findings through a system of panels and workshops intended and will also involve conference speakers and plenary discussions.

  • The first step is a call for panel proposals with a deadline of 1st November 2012.
