The Asia Pacific Public Policy Network (AP-PPN) Annual Conference

Resilient and Inclusive Governance in the Age of Crisis

Hosted by the Department of Asian and Policy Studies, The Education University of Hong Kong March 3 to 5 2021, HONG KONG

The Covid-19 pandemic has severely disrupted almost all aspects of human society, including public health, economic growth, and national and global politics. In seeking to learn from the crisis and offer advice, the academic field of public policy has rapidly mobilized with a wave of publications, media engagements, and research initiatives. Against this backdrop, we call for abstract submissions to the 6th AP-PPN Annual Conference, to be held from March 3 to 5, 2021 at The Education University of Hong Kong. We are sensitive to the seismic shift this rare crisis has visited upon our field. Accordingly, we will hold a conference that is thematically fluid and flexible, under the broader theme of “resilient and inclusive governance in the age of crisis”. We invite scholars from across all policy subfields to contemplate how the crisis reshapes their work and how their work can in turn reshape the crisis. Rarely is there an opportunity to examine our work in the context of an evolving crisis – and in a world that, more than ever, needs guidance from experts from all fields. Regarding submission, we are flexible within this theme, so we expect to receive abstracts across the typical range of topical subfields (e.g., public health, urban policy, social policy, climate policy, migration, international relations, and others) and theoretical subfields (e.g., policy process theories, tools and instruments, actors-ideas-institutions, collaboration and participation, knowledge-policy interface, epistemics, wicked problems, and others). We recognize that this is a broad call, but indeed these unique times call for broad thinking. There is no more urgent time to bring the field’s wide-ranging interests into one forum around the issue of crisis mitigation (however broadly one chooses to define that). We expect that participants would thirst for an opportunity to balance their research focus with its application to the macro-crisis context. Thus, we invite submissions that either look to the future or extend existing lines of inquiry to this novel context. Join us for this profoundly important sharing of ideas!

Dates

The main conference will take place on March 4 and 5, 2021, while a pre-conference workshop tailor-made for research students will be held on March 3.

The workshop seeks to offer a range of useful training/sharing sessions on academic writing, job-seeking, career planning, and how to get published. Student applicants should indicate the intent of joining this workshop when submitting their abstracts. Abstracts should be submitted online to https://anonmachg2.eduhk.hk/machform/view.php?id=29691086 no later than November 1 2020. Selection result will be announced on December 1 2020. Full-paper submission is not mandatory, but we highly encourage participants to do so on or before February 15 2021.

All conference papers submitted will be shared among participants.

Registration fee HK$700 (Fees for postgraduate students will be waived).

WELCOME TO THE IPSA RESEARCH COMMITTEE ON COMPARATIVE PUBLIC POLICY (RC30)

Michael Howlett — Mon, 30 May 2011 22:18:00 -0400

''Welcome to the website of the Research Committee on Comparative Public Policy of the International Political Science Association (RC 30).''

The Research Committee welcomes new members and inquiries, which can be sent to the Committee Chair listed on the 'Contact Us' page.

The Research Committee brings together like-minded scholars from around the world with an interest in comparative public policy. Besides working in areas such as comparative industrial, social and environmental policy, committee members also work on larger conceptual and methodological issues related to policy processes and dynamics, epistemological and philosophical issues related to policy-making and its study, and the history and development of the field of comparative public policy itself.

The Research Committee organizes panels at the Bi-Annual Conferences of the Association and encourages its members to submit proposals for these. RC members also sponsor and co-sponsor workshops and conferences on a wide variety of topics in between IPSA meetings including an 'off-year' RC workshop held in different locations every second year. Information on these events can be found on the "Events" and 'Announcements" listings on the RC30 Facebook page and RC members and others interested in these topics are warmly encouraged to attend and present the results of their research.

The RC publishes the interdisciplinary journal Policy & Society (Elsevier) and is a co-sponsor of the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis (Routledge).
