It has never been easy to find your way around and IPSA congress: there are always so many sessions. To help those who are interested in the broad field of the steering and management of public authority, the Research Committee on Public Policy and Administration (RC32) has produced this ‘Rough Guide’ to relevant sessions, which might be useful as a short list from which you can make your selection. To see the actual papers, and their abstracts, go to the conference website (http://www.ipsa.org/events/congress/montreal2014) and track from ‘Program’ to ‘Schedule’ . Even if you are not attending the conference, you can see what people are talking about, and contact the authors of any paper that interests you (click first on the paper title, then on the author name). Happy hunting !

CFP - special issue of CEJPP on Knowledge in Policy
10:10 - By Hal Colebatch - Publications
Call for Papers − Central European Journal of Public Policy Special Issue on Knowledge in Policy: New Perspectives, New Conflicts
Guest editors: Katarína Staroňová (Comenius University) and Michal Sedlačko (University of Applied Sciences, FH Campus Wien)
Over the last two decades a number of policy scholars, international organisations as well as national governments (particularly in OECD countries) increasingly call for a more systematic use of “evidence” in public policy making. Evidence can, in this respect, be defined as explicit and systematic knowledge that corresponds to scientific criteria of quality – and appears also under names of “(scientific) expertise”, “facts” and others. Increased use of evidence has implications in terms of changes in the structure of policy making processes, the measure of influence that various actors can exert on these processes, skills of administrative staff and division of labour in public organisations, as well as technologies and organisational procedures introduced in public organisations to enable “management” of knowledge. At the same time, the trend towards more systematic use of evidence in policy practice redefines the legitimacy criteria for public policy and opens up new conflict arenas centred on knowledge production and use (see, for example, the recent public discussions around the IPCC reports or the debates on democratisation of science).
