Policy Conflicts in the Policy Studies

Abstract

Policy conflicts are an inherent and often contested feature of the public policies but they are usually as implicit or background conditions rather than as objects of systematic conceptual and methodological inquiry. The panel welcomes theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers that seek to explicitly define, explain, and critically examine policy conflicts from various theoretical and methodological perspectives and across diverse contexts.
