Initiation of the Collaboration with Comparative Research Networks
The ICPA-Forum has begun initiation of international research symposia. This effort promotes the dialogue on comparative policy analytic studies by facilitating research networks interested in collaborative comparative policy analysis research and/or dissemination of findings. Each individual symposium in the series may focus on comparative research reports on common subjects of interest, involve in investigating and developing theoretical framework, finalize research design, further tool development, among others. The outcomes may be disseminated by publication of monographs, or a refereed Special Issue of the JCPA. The ICPA-Forum collaborates by co-organizing symposia and by leveraging its extensive network of international members.
International Consortium for Disaster Resilience
The ICPA-Forum is pleased to facilitate the research collaboration of the Rangel Center with Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, with the School of Public Affairs, University of Colorado at Denver, the Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California - Berkeley, and the School of Public Affairs, Baruch College to empirically identify the practices employed in recruiting, supporting, training, and graduating of students from underserved populations in various public policy, public management, public affairs, public administration and similar programs. The following activities will be led by the SFU-based ICPA-Forum: (a) A survey will be administered among 246 NASPAA accredited Schools and Deans/Directors of public administration/policy/affairs/management programs; (b) Databases on diversity and the advancement of underserved populations in the public service will be constructed surveying - Scholarly Articles, Books, and Research Reports; and in line with the Database Rationale and (c) Dissemination of findings through peer reviewed presentations at conferences and publications in proceedings or refereed scholarly journals.
