The Program Committee invites submission of quality paper proposals for the International Conference on "Next Steps for Public Administration in Theory and Practice,” which will be held in Guangzhou, China on November 16-18, 2014 in celebration of Public Administration Review’s 75thas well as Sun Yat-Sen University’s 90th Anniversaries. The committee is interested in significant, original, and rigorous papers that discuss theoretical, methodological, and practical challenges and opportunities particularly in the age of austerity, complexity, uncertainty, and interconnectedness.
Public administration as a field has become theoretically more interdisciplinary and methodologically more rigorous, while the practice of public administration has been evolving in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment. Responding to growing demand for new theoretical frameworks as well as innovative, interactive, and interdependent policy tools, the conference aims at offering an intellectually challenging and practically relevant opportunity for both scholars and practitioners.
All accepted papers will be compiled and published on the conference website. Plenary papers and others presented in the conference will be published in a themed issue of PAR in 2016 after regular peer-review. Theory-driven, empirical or practically relevant research papers are welcome. Research topics might include, but are not limited to, the following:
New challenges to public administration in the age of austerity and uncertainty
- Citizen participation and governance
- Quality of government and government performance
- Collaborative government in a networked society: opportunities and challenges
- Improving theories and methods in public administration research

- Applications of new technologies for emerging public administration problems
- Measuring public value
