Following the policy trail in Madrid
00:52 - By Hal Colebatch - RC32 activities
The IPSA Congress (coming up in Madrid, 8-12 July) is always a great source of information to those interested in the steering and management of public authority. Even for those who are not attending, it's useful to know what is being talked about, and the conference program is a handy guide to the current agenda of scholarship.
The trouble is that there's so much of it, and the discourse is spread around so many different locations, so to help those who are interested find their way around, the Research Committee on Public Policy and Administration (RC32) has produced this ‘Rough Guide’ to relevant sessions. If you're interested, you can go to the IPSA web site (www.ipsa.org) and consult the full conference program, which will have the abstracts of the papers and the e-mail addresses of the authors. After the congress, the papers should be available in the on-line paper room.
