Sixth Annual International Conference on Public Policy and Management (2011)

The Centre for Public Policy (CPP) at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) will convene the Sixth Annual Conference on Public Policy and Management from December 28 to 30, 2011.

Theme: “Strengthening Institutions, Enhancing Governance”

The world today is facing extraordinary challenges. Many countries are witnessing political revolutions as their people strive to establish popular, accountable, democratic institutions. Questionable financial management in the public and private sectors has led to economic instability across continents. Policymakers are grappling with the challenge of establishing institutions to cope with rapid changes in demography, the environment and the economy.

India too is experiencing transformative changes—from popular uprisings aimed at eliminating corruption to the paradigm shift to rights-based public policies aimed at ensuring better governance and public service delivery.

In this changing global and Indian context, this conference aims to trigger a rethinking on how institutions function and how governance can be improved. It draws a range of scholars from different policy domains, and from academia, government, industry, and the non-governmental sectors to share knowledge and to set new directions and strategies for improved governance. The conference works as a catalyst to encourage scholarship in public policy and is a multi-disciplinary forum where new ideas, experiences and solutions emerge.
