Papers can address questions about broad as well as specific areas of state action, policy domains, economic sectors and the like. Just what roles does the state play in a given policy area? What do the available bodies of evidence indicate/suggest in terms of effectiveness? How are the policy areas organized (e.g. relations between government agencies, associations, the private sector, civil society, other actors)? What factors explain specific historical moments or continuity/variation through time? We want to explore these and related questions in the context of conceptual/theoretical frameworks focused on state formation/development and the involvement of leading socioeconomic, civil society, and political actors. Please see the preliminary program for examples of focus areas and specialists.
