“Comparative public policy” has become a much used term and practice in recent years. It is not clear, however, whether and to what extent academics and practitioners have exploited methods of comparison to their full potential. In collaboration with KULeuven, the JCPA-Journal and ICPA-Forum, which have raised comparative public policy analysis on the scholarly agenda more than a decade ago, seek to open a dialogue and discuss advances in comparative research design, policy analysis, construction and validation of comparative knowledge of manipulable policies, programs and policy institutions. This two-days conference addresses the question of how academics practice methods of comparison; as well, it seeks to generate an advanced understanding of the methods of comparison used by national governments and international institutions.
Location: KULeuven, Belgium 27-30 November 2013

This panel brings together interpretive studies on escalation dynamics in policy conflicts. Escalation is a key dynamic-along with stalemate, and settlement-and the one that holds the key to the volatility of many policy issues. Yet it is often neglected within the field of interpretative policy analysis. Stalemate has received attention in Schön and Rein's work on intractable policy controversies. Settlement is addressed in work on policy negotiation, for example by John Forrester and others.

ON POLICY LEADERSHIP and POLICY DESIGN Chair :

Abstract
Leadership (conceived as the most important form of agency) is a fundamental driver of all the aspects of policy dynamics. However one of the less investigated dimensions is exactly the relationship between leadership and policy design. Policy design is a complex process which can be conceived as a rationalistic attempt to develop efficient and effective policies through the application of knowledge although it is continuously affected by cognitive bias and symbolic disputes. So the way towards optimal policy is is full of hurdles. This is because policy design needs to be steered and so the role of leaders (in broader sense) can make the difference for the final result. Thus papers of this panel should address the under-investigated role of leadership in policy design both from the theoretical and empirical point of views. Empirical papers should have a comparative perspective while theoretical papers should deal with the issue by clearly focusing on who policy leaders are, which role they can play, which resources they have, in which stage of the policy design process they can make the difference
