>>Note that the conference will overlap with the University of Akron's 
>>annual Joint Project on Term Limits April 29-30, 2004, which includes 
>>numerous scholars and members of the National Conference of State 
>>Legislatures. Some conference panels, meals and speakers are being 
>>coordinated between the University of Akron and Kent State. Participants 
>>will be able to enjoy both conferences in one exciting weekend.
>>
>>Call for Papers
>>The conference organizers are seeking proposals for papers that seek to 
>>expand our knowledge of public policy and the policy-making process in 
>>the American states and in other sub-national contexts. States are 
>>significant actors in American public policy, and recent trends toward 
>>block grants and
>>devolution have enhanced their policy role. The traditional adage that 
>>states are laboratories of democracy has become even more relevant as states
>>experiment with new approaches in welfare, education, economic 
>>development, Medicaid, health, criminal justice, e-government, 
>>environmental policy, political reform, and many other areas. Papers that 
>>present research on trends or outcomes in specific policy areas are 
>>welcome, as well as research on the policy process - diffusion, 
>>innovation, learning, policy networks, decision making, policy 
>>development and change, governance, intergovernmental
>>relations, federalism and state policy, the role of institutions in 
>>policy-making, interest group mobilization and policy, and state policy 
>>capacity. Papers that develop and test more general theories about 
>>government, political phenomena, and policy-making are especially welcome.
>>
>>Proposals should spell out briefly the research question(s) to be 
>>addressed, the theoretical and/or substantive importance of this 
>>question, and the methods that will be used to answer it. The sponsors 
>>would be especially interested in proposals that have a comparative 
>>perspective (comparing  across states or across policy areas) and those 
>>with implications for governance and democracy. Strong theoretical 
>>foundations and rigorous methodology
>>will be the most important ingredients for successful proposals. Both 
>>quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches are welcome.
>>
>>Interested scholars should submit a one-page proposal by November 14, 2003
>>to:
>>Caroline Tolbert or Karen Mossberger

>>saved in PDF format or as a Microsoft Word document. The subject heading 
>>for electronic submissions should be as follows: Fourth State Politics 
>>Conference Proposal and the last name of the author submitting the
