Place: This virtual workshop will be conducted on Zoom from Koç University, Istanbul, Türkiye
Convenor: Prof. Caner Bakir
On September 11-12, 2020 Koc University and Center for Globalization Peace and Democratic Governance (GLODEM) will host the 18th workshop of the Scholarly Society for International Policy Analysis (ICPA-Forum) and the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis (JCPA). It is titled “What Does Comparative Policy Analysis Have to Do With the Structure, Institution and Agency Debate?” of the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis (JCPA).
The goals of this ICPA-Forum and JCPA Workshop are threefold: (1) to encourage empirical and theoretical interest in the interactions among structural, institutional and agency-level factors that inform CPA perspectives, focusing on different levels of analysis, and applying different research methodologies; (2) to build richly contextualized, interdisciplinary and comparative conceptual or theoretical foundations for analysis and research; and (3) to stimulate further comparative empirical policy research that uses original data and focuses on, for example, comparative analysis of countries or cases in the policy domains. The central focus is on impacts of interrelated structural, institutional and agency-related factors affecting policy analysis at the national, the supranational, regional, or actor levels of analysis.
Webinar Workshop Format
This year the Workshop will be held as a Webinar, but closely adhering to the characteristics of the JCPA and ICPA-Forum limited number of high quality accepted papers and highly interactive in-depth proceedings. The presentations will be 20 minutes, followed by two assigned discussants (10minute each), and 10-minute discussion open for all participants. There will be short breaks between presentations. This template has proven to lend itself to potential special issues and to a close network of policy comparativists. Following the annual workshop’s tradition, the JCPA Annual Award for the Best Comparative Paper will be presented on September 12th.
