Public administrations in the US and Europe are facing extraordinary domestic problems (e.g. unemployment, unaffordable social security and public health systems, crumbling infrastructures) and severe global challenges (e.g. international terrorism, financial crises, ecological degradation and climate change).
There are three trends in the ways that public administrations are trying to cope with these problems: privatization of public tasks and services, increasingly detailed government regulation of markets and social activities, and adherence to the status quo.
In order to promote research and discussion regarding these trends and the future of public administration the GRIP and SPEA invite proposals for papers falling into the following general themes:
1. Administrative Theory and State Paradigms
2. Multi-level Governance
3. Market and the Regulatory State
4. Society and the Regulatory State
5. Non-profit and Civic Engagement, Participation
6. Administrative Modernization and Performance Management
7. Human Resource Management and Ethics Management
8. New Administrative Tasks
