Upcoming Events

Announcing The 5th Jcpa And Icpa-forum Research Symposium

Piecing Together the Policy Analysis Puzzle in Volatile Environments

June 8-9, 2106

Tel Aviv University

The Symposium celebrates the publication of “Policy Analysis in Israel” Volume 8 of the International Library of Policy Analysis (2013-2019) (ILPA) Series sponsored by the JCPA and ICPA-Forum. It will address and tie up conclusions facilitated by the ILPA series across international borders with the participation of editors and authors of other volumes, and leading Israeli government officials, authors and international scholars. More specifically, triggered by the Israeli case, the focus will be on policy analysis in volatile contexts. Convenors and Volume Editors: Gila Menahem and Amos Zehavi.
Program: Given the growing complexity of modern contemporary policy environments, which include a bewildering plethora of stakeholders and institutions, it is unsurprising that policy analysis is in considerable demand. However, the types and forms of policy analysis adopted depend largely on the specific characteristics of a given policy environment. Hence, despite the growing prevalence of global diffusion of policy analysis practices, policy analysis adoption and practice is still very much shaped by local environments.
Presenters include Prof. Klaus Schubert, Editor Policy Analysis in Germany, ILPA Vol. 1; Prof. Beryl Radin, chapter author Policy Analysis in the USA and former APPAM President; Prof. Iris Geva-May, ILPA series Co-Editor, Founding President ICPA-Forum and JCPA Founding Editor. In Israel, among prominent others, volume authors: Prof. Yehezkel Dror, a founding father of the public policy field; Dr. Karrnit Flug Governor of the Bank of Israel.
