2014 Fall Research Conference
November 6-8, 2014
Albuquerque, NM

The Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) will hold their annual three-day Fall Research Conference in Albuquerque, NM at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Albuquerque Convention Center on November 6-8, with governance meetings and other events on Wednesday, November 5, 2014.

The theme of the conference is: Global Challenges, New Perspectives

We envision a conference that is a mix of panel presentations (based on authored papers, with chairs and discussants) as well as workshops and roundtable discussions of broader or cross-cutting topics.

We are soliciting abstracts for (1) individual papers for posters or to be integrated into panels, (2) panels made up of 3-4 papers, (3) roundtables, and (4) workshops. Abstracts for individual papers should be no longer than 500 words; if a panel of papers is proposed there should be a summary of each paper plus an overarching description of the panel and its importance. Descriptions for roundtables and workshops should also be no longer than 500 words, plus a listing of participants and a summary of their contributions.
