The SPA annual conference is being hosted this year by Edinburgh University, 23-25 June. The theme of the conference is ‘Challenging Boundaries’. Throughout the world, traditional boundaries between territories, services and professions are being questioned. Nationalist ministers form the devolved government in Scotland and hold some offices in Wales and Northern Ireland, challenging UK policy norms. Policy learning is stronger than ever at the European and global level. Joined-up and citizen-centred government challenge organisational and professional structures.
Although the call for papers has now closed, delegate spaces are still available. Plenary speakers include: Ann S Orloff from Northwestern University in Canada; Wim van Oorschot from Tilberg University in the Netherlands; Walden Bello from the University of the Philippines and Michael Keating from the European University Institute in Italy. In addition, 150 papers will be presented across 5 paper sessions and will soon be available to view on the conference website.
