Deadline: 1 December 2015
Papers are invited for first PUPOL International Conference!
The aim of the PUPOL (Public and Political Leadership) international academic network is to contribute to solutions and help societies and their leaders address such challenges through scholarship specifically focusing on the role of leaders and leadership in the public and political domain. One way to achieve this aim is through organizing international conferences – the first of which will be held on 7-8 April 2016 in the Netherlands.
The event will offer participants the opportunity to discuss their research. Paper proposals can be theoretically and/or empirically based, employ any of the existing methodologies (or introduce even new ones), as long as they highlight a specific (public or political) leadership topic linked to the conference theme. Paper proposals conveying research findings of interest to the real world are particularly encouraged.
