The goal of the WG – is to focus on discussions and debates around capacity challenges, professional, evidence-based public policy making in the countries embraced by NISPAcee, and not limited to the institutionalisation of public policy analysis procedures and concrete remedies for those challenges. Nowadays, solid and effective public health systems and evidence-based policies are vital for improving health outcomes. Moreover, the refugees’ crisis at the EU and Belarus borders increase the necessity to better use the evidence in decision-making.
For the 30th Annual NISPAcee Conference, the WG on EVIDENCE-BASED PUBLIC POLICY MAKING welcomes theoretical, empirical or comparative research papers of academics and practitioners on the need for more adaptive, anticipatory, inclusive and sustainable policies. We encourage potential authors to focus on the impact of COVID-19 or refugees’ crisis on evidence-based public policy making. The WG is interested in papers which focus on those aspects and particularities of policy making, policy analysis or monitoring and evaluation of public policies experiences in a single country and/or region, either generally or in specific sectors.
The papers can address not only recommendations for further research, but also real-world points for practitioners. In this respect, collaborative papers between researchers/academics and practitioners are highly welcomed.
All papers shall include, at least, but not limited to, the following sections: introduction; background of the chosen issue; literature review; the objective of the study; research methodology; analysis; main findings and policy implications; ideas and recommendations for further research.
From participants of this working group full paper is required before the conference.
Deadline of full paper submission is 20th of May 2022.
