About the IIAS Annual Conference

The IIAS Annual Conference is the flagship event of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences (IIAS), held annually in different regions across the globe. This week-long event is structured into three key components: the Pre-Congress Workshops and the Council of Administration meeting, where IIAS members and partners discuss their agendas with attendees; the Congress itself, featuring plenary and parallel sessions on crucial public administration topics; and a social program, offering opportunities for networking and cultural engagement. 

The IIAS-DARPG India Conference 2025 promises to continue this tradition of excellence, bringing together global leaders and experts in public governance.

Public Management Review Special Issue Proposal

Pearl Beleyn  

5 November 2026

public-administration egpa governance-and-public-management-series call submission

Public administration and management research has long drawn most of its ideas from Western, industrialised democracies. Yet Asia and the Global South have become major sites of administrative change, with large-scale reforms, fast-moving technology and some of the most inventive experiments in governance. Research from these regions has grown accordingly, but it is still often used to illustrate or apply theories made elsewhere, rather than to produce new ones.

This special issue of Public Management Review aims to change that. It invites authors to treat practice in Asia and the Global South as a starting point for theory: to test, question or extend established approaches, and to propose new concepts and explanations. It does not look for a single theory of these regions, which are far too diverse for that, but for context-sensitive contributions that also say something useful for policy and practice.
