The International Conference on Comparative Public Policy
CELEBRATION of the 25th ANNIVERSARY of The Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice
To celebrate its 25th Anniversary, The Journal of Comparative Policy Research and Analysis: Research and Practice (JCPA) welcomes scholars, graduate students, and practitioners to participate in the International Conference on Comparative Public Policy, sponsored by the Society for International Comparative Policy Analysis (ICPA-Forum) and hosted by the School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, to be held on April 19-21, 2024.
CONFERENCE THEME:
In today's increasingly digital world, advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, Bio-Technology and Communication Modes are deeply intertwined with every aspect of society, including public policy. Policymakers around the world face the complex challenges of harnessing the power of these technologies to improve policy analysis processes, policy making and implementation, while keeping up the regulatory and policy framework to guard against the potential hazards to society.
This conference calls for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to engage in interdisciplinary comparative dialogues about the critical interplay between technology and public policy. We aim to foster discussions, widen debates, and offer innovative angles on the myriad ways in which today’s scientific breakthroughs and new technologies shape public policy. Of particular interest are the theoretical implications and practical applications of the papers presented.
Proposal Deadline: January 15, 2024

Cities on the Edge: Promoting Equity and Resiliency through Research, Activism, Planning, and Policy
Cities are home to more than 55% of the world’s population and generate 80% of global GDP. Their economic power and influence are counterbalanced by a growing number of social, political, and environmental challenges that threaten to undermine societies and habitats. Current conditions within cities, as well as their future capacity to become equitable and resilient, are shaped by a complex set of dynamics. Policies and politics operating at the global, regional and local levels produce conflicts, polarization, dislocation, economic instability, and climate change. As the world’s cities begin an assumed exit from the recent global pandemic, a singular question emerges: how can cities on the brink of irreversible change develop equitable policy options that will allow for future sustainability and resilience?
The dynamics influencing current conditions in cities, as well as their ability to become equitable and resilient in the future, are complex, and call for a multidisciplinary perspective from urban affairs scholars and practitioners. This conference welcomes researchers, planners, policymakers, advocates, and community leaders to share insights and identify strategies for creating equitable options that ensure sustainable choices. Among the wide range of topics relevant to cities, a set of subthemes are of particular interest. Proposal Deadline: October 1, 2023
