There is a call for papers for a workshop on Assessing the Impact of Cabinet Decision Making on Public Policy. This one-day inter-disciplinary workshop will bring together researchers to investigate the under-researched link between cabinet level decision-making processes and policy outcomes.
This workshop aims to provide opportunities for feedback on work in progress on cabinet decision making and cabinet-related processes and provoke discussion on the inferential and data challenges with respect to these questions. Additionally, this event will draw in different theoretical and empirical perspectives on cabinet decision making across disciplines, and identify gaps in the research infrastructure in order to open the black box of the effects of cabinet characteristics on policy making. Space during the workshop will be allocated to explore the development of funding applications along these themes.
The workshop will take the form of several panel presentations, followed by an interdisciplinary mini-sandpit and will run on 8 July at the University.
To apply to give a paper for the workshop send a 300 word maximum abstract of no more than 300 words to Dee Goddard (rg363@kent.ac.uk) by 16.00 on 15th April.
