Over the past thirty years, public policy research has grown as an academic field of study in many countries. Coming from a range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, including political science, public administration, geography, sociology, economics and law among others, this research has helped develop our understanding of the many phenomena related to public policy-making. Sponsored by six Research Committees of the International Political Science Association (IPSA), the public policy section of the American Political Science Association (APSA), and the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR), the first International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP) held in 2013 in Grenoble, France, was a great success, with more than 1000 participants. During this conference, opportunities will be provided for both junior and senior researchers from a variety of disciplines to present and discuss new research, theoretical, conceptual and methodological insights and empirical findings through a symposium of selected panels and workshops. The Conference will also involve invited speakers and plenary discussions. The conference call for participation is structured in two steps : - The first step was a "call for panels" which is now closed. - The second step is a "call for papers" which will begin on 15th November, 2014 with a deadline of 15th January, 2015. With this call for papers, we would like to invite you to propose a paper for this conference.
