Call for Papers
The department of political science at McMaster University, in conjunction with the Canada Research Chair in Public Policy and Globalization, Institute for Globalization and the Human Condition, cordially invites graduate students to submit paper proposals to the first Graduate Conference on the Internationalization of Public Policy. The conference will be held from January 26th to January 27th 2012 in Hamilton Ontario and is entitled: Mapping the Global Dimensions of Policy: Investigating Theory, Practice and Challenges. Co-sponsors include the Global Health Program and Centre for Engineering and Public Policy.
Drawing upon McMaster’s expertise in the field of international and comparative public policy, the conference theme focuses on the global dimension of policy and aims to bridge the gap between international relations and public policy by investigating how the “the global,” including institutions, actors and ideas intersects with “the local” to create particular policies and outcomes. Papers using a variety of approaches and addressing a range of issues related to the internationalization of public policy are welcome, including on: Citizenship, Borders and International Migration / Global Health / Climate Change and its policy implications/ Employment and Labour Market policy/ Education/ Social Policy/ International Trade/Finance/Investment/ Civil Society/ Labour/ Transnational actors/ issues of public-private authority/ new constitutionalism
Open to Masters and PhD students, the interdisciplinary conference will provide students with the ideal setting to foster networks with fellow students and faculty in their area of research. More notably participants will benefit from in-depth feedback on their written work and presentation from a faculty discussant. Selected papers will be published in the McMaster Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition’s Working Paper series. To apply please download and submit an application along with a 250 word abstract: to Halina Sapeha and Scott Smith at email:
