The Institut de Sciences Politiques Louvain-Europe of the Université catholique de Louvain organizes an international workshop on the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). The aim of this workshop is to contribute to the theoretical cross-fertilization and development of the ACF through the presentation and discussion of high-quality research papers, as well as their consideration for a publication project.

We call for papers contributing to the development of one of the three ACF theories – policy learning, advocacy coalitions, or policy change – through theoretical cross-fertilization. Cross-fertilization may involve original insights from other policy process theories, but also from other human, social or natural sciences. The choice of methods is free, as long as they are strong and very transparently reported. The papers may be conceptual or empirical, as long as they contribute the theoretical cross-fertilization of the ACF.

Paper proposals of maximum 500 words are expected by November 2017, 20th and should be sent to stephane.moyson@uclouvain.be.

Proposals will be selected by the scientific committee by November 2017, 30th.

Where? Mons, Belgium

When? February 2018, 26-27th

How? Participation is free and includes the dinner on February 26th. We do not cover the other costs.
