Call for Papers
Asia Pacific Public Policy Network (AP-PPN) Workshop on Public Policy and Governance
& Launch of India Public Policy Network at School of Public Health, KIIT University, Bhubaneswar (India)
March 1-2, 2018
The goal of AP-PPN is to promote Public Policy research and education in Asia. To achieve this goal, it is promoting the establishment of national public policy forums involving all development sectors, including the health sector, that together will form a consortium spanning Asia and the Pacific. The AP-PPN will offer a platform for promoting national and regional research collaboration, learning opportunities, and research conferences and workshops.
After two successful conferences in Hong Kong (2016) and Chiang Mai (2017), the AP-PPN is organizing an inaugural workshop to launch the Indian Public Policy Network (IPPN) at KIIT University, Bhubaneswar on March 1-2, 2018.
The aim of this inaugural workshop is to bring together scholars of Public Policy, Public Administration and Public Management from universities and development sectors in India and other Asian countries to present their work and engage in discussions about the scope and purpose of the proposed Indian Public Policy Network. The forum will offer opportunities to build networks for future collaborative research.
Proposals for papers and panels are invited in all areas of interest to scholars working on public policies at local, national and international events in the region and elsewhere, or with theoretical, conceptual or methodological subjects related to policy studies.
Suggested topics for panels and papers include:
1. Social and Financial security

3. Policies to achieve Universal Health coverage
4. Policy & Politics
5. Public Policy Education & Research
6. Regional Collaborations
In addition to presentation of research papers, the workshop will feature special roundtable discussions on Pedagogy and Research Methods in Public Policy. There will also be a special plenary panel on Political Capacity.
