2016 APPAM International Conference June 13 - 14, 2016 London,

The Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) will hold their 2016 International Conference in London, England at the London School of Economics on June 13-14.

The theme of the conference is: Inequalities: Addressing the Growing Challenge for Policymakers Worldwide

Inequalities are a growing challenge in countries around the world. What do we know about the nature and sources of inequalities in important domains such as education, health, economic and social well-being, and rights? And what can - and should - policymakers do to address them? This international conference will provide the opportunity for policy researchers and analysts from around the globe to gather and share the latest research and knowledge on this pressing challenge.

We are soliciting abstracts for (1) individual papers to be integrated into panels, (2) panels made up of 3-4 papers, (3) roundtables, and (4) posters. Abstracts for individual papers and posters 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 should also be no longer than 500 words, plus a listing of participants and a summary of their contributions.
