The Sixth Annual Conference on Public Policy and Management will be organized by The Centre for Public Policy (CPP) at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B) from December 28 to 30, 2011. The main subject for this year’s conference is “Strengthening Institutions, Enhancing Governance”.
The world today is facing extraordinary challenges. Several countries are witnessing political revolutions as their people strive to incorporate 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 up with rapid changes in demography, the environment and the economy.
India is also facing transformative changes-from popular uprisings which aim at eliminating corruption to the paradigm shift to rights-based public policies which focuses on 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, industry, government 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 support scholarship in public policy and is a multi-disciplinary forum where innovative ideas, experiences and solutions emerge.
