Resurrecting Implementation Studies: Problems, Issues, Solutions
19th – 20th March, 2009

The study of implementation is slowly returning on the agenda of Public Sector Management and Government. There is increasing concern with the failures of implementation programmers and with looming recessionary trends the world over, it is to be expected that implementationstudies will be given a new lease of life. Among other things, this international conference will address: The links that connect policy to ultimate outcomes; The role of leadership; A well thought-out cost-benefit analysis of various strategies; Designing a set of controls and monitoring mechanisms; The role of NGOs in the implementation process.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 26th February 2009.
