The Faculty of Public Administration and Political Sciences, jointly with the Institute Max van der Stoel within South East European University, announces an international conference from 4-5 May 2018. The conference will take place at the main University campus in Tetovo, Macedonia.  
The conference, titled "Governance in Public Sector: Challenges and Perspectives” provides an opportunity for reflection on challenges and perspectives in achieving good governance principles in the public sector, leading to successful public administration reform. Within the foreseen panels during the conference, three major themes will be addressed. One of the major challenges of understanding the importance of governance rests within the realm of the capacity of political leadership and structural/organizational setting of local governance. What is the role of political leadership in envisioning future developments challenging current state of affairs? Secondly, how much is the existing organizational structure supported by means of professional education in public management? Finally, what directions should public administration reform activities take in order to fulfill good governance indicators?
The conference aims to bring together scholars with research interests in governance issues in general, doctoral candidates dealing with complex issues of governance and public administration reform activities, and professionals from the sector. The conference will be composed of three main panel sessions exploring the abovementioned thematic sessions:

·         Session 1: Political Leadership and Local Governance
·         Session 2: Public Administration Reforms
·         Session 3: Public Management and Policy Education
