Call for papers
The theme, “Enhancing the relevance of the youth in achieving sustainable human development through grounded public administration and governance in Philippine society”, revolves around questions and issues arising from the theory and practice of public administration and governance in the Philippines. For a long time, governments in developing countries have sought out ways and techniques to use processes and public policies to achieve their development objectives. Theories have been formulated, tested, and re-formulated once more in search of how government processes and public policies can be used to strengthen the economy, uplift their citizens from poverty, and provide better lives and better futures for their people.
When the discipline of public administration was first introduced in the Philippines in 1952, we have imported these foreign theories to be tried in our own government. Since then, how has public administration helped in achieving our country’s development needs? To what extent have the products of Philippine schools of public administrations helped in achieving sustainable development?
This conference shall bring together the nation’s students, future leaders, and scholars from various schools of public administration to critically examine the relevance of current public administration and governance theories and practices in addressing the country’s current issues.
The 12 simultaneous panels will feature student presenters who will submit conference papers based on the following general study areas: local government and decentralization, people empowerment and citizen participation, education, health, environment, human rights, good governance and anti-corruption, gender equality and equal access, labor policy, and poverty and development.
The Congress Organizing Committee may consider papers with topics other than those indicated above if, in its judgment, the papers will further enrich the discussion on the main theme.
Application deadline and arrangements: Paper presenters are requested to submit a 250-word Abstract addressing one of the Congress’s study areas in relation to the general theme. Proposals should be submitted electronically to the NCGG 2012 Organizing Committee at [email protected] not later than 2 December 2011 (Friday), with “NCGG 2012 Paper Proposal” as email subject. Acceptance of papers will be notified through email by Dayanne Crisologo by 9 December 2011, Friday. Paper authors are expected to submit their final papers and presentations not later than 6 January 2012, Friday.
