Place: 27th NISPAcee Annual Conference, Prague, Czech Republic
Date: May 24-26, 2019
In recent years there has been a significant effort to improve decision-making within the public sector by developing capacity in evidence-based policy making in general and policy analysis in particular in CEE, Central Asia and Caucasus countries. However, these efforts are still in their early stages in many countries, and heavily reliant on donor assistance. There continues to be issues, both on the demand side (how much governments genuinely want evidence-based policy advice), and on the supply side (e.g., skilled policy analysts, teaching institutions, think tanks).
The goal of the WG - the 27th Annual NISPAcee Conference 2019
The goal of the WG is to focus and become a vehicle for discussion and debate around capacity challenges to professional evidence-based public policy making in the countries embraced by NISPAcee but not limited to, institutionalisation of public policy analysis procedures and concrete remedies for those challenges.
More specifically, papers may focus on: specific weaknesses/strengths of evidence-based policy making in a single country and/or region, either generally or in specific sectors; institutionalisation and application of policy analysis techniques and methods; comparative analysis of similar challenges faced by a variety of countries (including analysis of instances where capacity-building is being attempted); monitoring and evaluation of public policies experiences in a single country and/or region; public policy impact analysis in a single country and/or region.
Special attention will be paid to Policy Design and Policy Practice in the European Integration Context.
We invite potential authors to focus on the aspects and particularities of evidence-based policy making; policy analysis tools and techniques, monitoring and evaluation experience in a country and/or region in order to increase the practical relevance of the Working Group and to develop a common base knowledge. The papers must include not only recommendations for further research, but also practical points for practitioners. In this respect, papers written in cooperation between researchers/academics and practitioners are highly welcome.
It would be much appreciated if all papers followed a common structure:
- Abstract and point for practitioners
- Introduction
- Background of the chosen issue
- Literature review in a given subject or chosen issue/phenomena
- Objective of the analysis
- Methodology of the Research
- Analysis
- Main findings and policy implications
- Recommendations for further research
- References
