JCPA Special Issue (2006-2007)
Abstract Deadline: 15 June 2006
Paper Deadline: 15 September 2006
Theme: Building Policy Capability in the Public Sector
Invitation:
The Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis is preparing a special issue on ”Building Policy Capability in the Public Sector.” Advisory systems in many countries are modifying existing policy practices as they respond to new governance arrangements and other changes to the policy environment. Governments have responded with new methods, approaches and strategies and raised issues as to the comparative advantage which public sector advisers can bring to their role, relative to others.
The editors invite you to submit a paper for this special issue which will be reviewed according to the Journals’ normal blind fold procedures. Papers should be no more than 6,000 words. Priority will be given to articles which report on practices in two or more jurisdictions or address theories and experiences which are globally applicable.
Accepted proposals will be presented and discussed at the 3rd ICPA-Forum Workshop at the Australian National University. The Workshop will take place on November 28-29, 2006. It is hoped that this will facilitate the subsequent reviewing process and publication of the special issue.
