CALL OF PAPERS

COMPARATIVE PUBLIC POLICIES AT THE AGE OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

The International Conference on Comparative Public Policy

in Celebration of the 25^th Anniversary of the

Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice

April 19-21, 2024

School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China

To celebrate its 25^th Anniversary, the Journal of Comparative Policy Research and Analysis: Research and Practice (JCPA) welcomes scholars, graduate students, and practitioners to participate in the International Conference on Comparative Public Policy, sponsored by the Society for International Comparative Policy Analysis (ICPA-Forum) and hosted by the School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, to be held on April 19-21, 2024.

CONFERENCE THEME:

In today's increasingly digital world, advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, Bio-Technology and Communication Modes are deeply intertwined with every aspect of society, including public policy. Policymakers around the world face the complex challenges of harnessing the power of these technologies to improve policy analysis processes, policy making and implementation, while keeping up the regulatory and policy framework to guard against the potential hazards to society.

This conference calls for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to engage in interdisciplinary comparative dialogues about the critical interplay between technology and public policy. We aim to foster discussions, widen debates, and offer innovative angles on the myriad ways in which today’s scientific  break throughs and new technologies shape public policy. Of particular interest are the theoretical implications and practical applications of the papers presented.

CONFERENCE LANGUAGE AND TRACKS:

The conference will accept only papers written and presented in English.  We welcome submissions of papers of policy analyses on the topics related, but not limited, to the following tracks:
