Call for Papers for the 2012 Berlin Forum Innovation in Governance


"Shaping innovation in governance? Inducements, opportunities and
limitations for engaging with governance in the making".

The conference is pivoted on the question of whether and how
innovations in governance can be deliberately shaped. This suggests a
focus on the relation between knowledge and politics in processes of
advancing new forms of governance. More specifically, we are
interested in discussing the relation between, on the one hand, a
discourse of innovation in governance, theoretical models of change,
the articulation of designs and strategies, and, on the other hand,
the agency of innovation, actual practices of forging alliances,
softening established orders, configuring and evaluating new
arrangements, and linking up with broader transformation processes as
they unfold.

The Forum will open with a public keynote dialogue between Frank
Fischer (Rutgers University) and Andrew Stirling (University of
Sussex) on challenges of innovating governance for sustainable
development.

The Forum is the third in a series of conferences which provides an
interdisciplinary research platform on the genesis, dynamics and
politics of new forms of governance. The first Forum put a focus on
patterns and dynamics of innovation processes in governance, the
second on the role of governance knowledge and its co-production with
new political practices. For more information on these past events,
please go towww.innovation-in-governance.org/forum.html.

The Forum will take place on Thursday 31 May and Friday 1 June 2012 at
the Technische Universität Berlin.

Please find attached the full Call for Papers.

The deadline for all submissions is Friday 20 January 2012.

We look forward to receiving your proposals!
