Policy & Politics 2012 Conference
‘40 years of Policy & Politics: Critical reflections and strategies for the future’
Marriott Royal Hotel, Bristol
18th-19th September 2012
The journal Policy & Politics celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and we are holding a conference in Bristol on 18/19 September to mark the occasion. We would like to invite you to submit abstracts for papers and panels by the extended deadline of Friday 4 May 2012.
CONFERENCE THEME
For forty years the journal has published key works in the areas of public and social policy. The 2012 Policy & Politics conference seeks to explore contemporary policy issues within the context of the past 40 years. In doing so it seeks to address the following questions:
* What policy issues remain pertinent to policy makers and the public in the 21st Century?
* Which elements of politics and policy making have been most enduring over recent decades?
* What areas of policy have witnessed a fundamental reshaping of their design and delivery?What elements of traditional ‘public administration’ have been most resilient?
* How can we use critical insights and past experiences to inform future thinking about the way policy is developed?
