CALL FOR PAPERS for Public Administration Review Symposium 2019 (Proposal Due: Sep 15, 2018)
Symposium: Advancing Government Quality through Capacity and Competitiveness

Objective

The purpose of this symposium is to invite theoretical and empirical work that better aligns, clarifies, and integrates the concepts of government capacity and competitiveness relative to each other, and with the more developed concept of performance. The goal is a more fulsome assessment of government quality. Of course, many complementary concepts also occupy this space including innovation, strategy, networks, finance, and learning/openness.  Methodologies will vary widely but we strongly encourage some submissions taking up comparative/cross country approaches.
