IPSA Montreal – the policy trail
12:30 - By Hal Colebatch - RC32 activities
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 !
