Call for Papers


Whilst the organisers would particularly welcome offers of papers in line with the conference theme - MMP: An Evaluation - papers are nevertheless welcome on all aspects of politics and public policy, both domestic and international in focus.

Contributors are invited to submit abstracts in two streams:

1. In the form of an abstract which will be reviewed by the organisers. Post graduate students and researchers with work in progress are encouraged to submit to this stream. All accepted abstracts will be published on a conference CD.

2. The second stream involves two levels of review. After the initial abstract review as per stream 1, contributors may submit their paper for a full peer review process, by 1 June. Papers accepted in this stream will be published in full on a formal CD of conference proceedings.

The main part of the conference will revolve around workshops, where papers dealing with substantive and methodological issues can be debated by participants. As such, the conference should be of interest to both academics and practitioners.

Abstracts of papers (aprox. 500 words in length) to be received by 1 April 2008.
