Call for papers for the 40th SOG Workshop that revolves around the question of how public administration can and should respond to democratic backsliding, populist movements, and polarized societies in order to strengthen the democratic resilience of public bureaucracies. October 17-18, 2024 Münster, Germany. Abstracts due 8 May 2024.

The workshop provides a collegial forum conducive to in-depth discussions among peers, allowing ample time for exchanges among panelists and workshop participants. For this reason, the capacity of the workshop is limited to some 20 through 30 participants in their active roles as panelists or chairs and discussants. No conference fee will be charged for workshop participation. Ground expenses (including meals during the conference as well as up to two nights of accommodation) will be covered for all paper givers and active participants.
