Hi all, Please see proposed panel for ICPP in Singapore. Deadline is Jan 15th
Best Ben ________________________________ ________________________________ Call for Papers: ICPP3 in Singapore (28-30 June 2017), Panel on 'Designing Sticky Policies: How to Steer the Co-evolution of Policy and Technology’ Dear colleagues, We’re organizing a panel at the 3rd International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP3) in Singapore in June 2017 on the topic of ‘Designing Sticky Policies: How to Steer the Co-evolution of Policy and Technology’ which you might find interesting. The motivation for our panel is that while research on the policy designs’ effect on technological change is abundant (e.g. in the field of renewable energy policy), the inverse effect of how technological change affects policy-making remains largely unexplored. For example, we know very little about the effect of policy-induced technological change on actor constellations and the underlying politics of policy-making. Another aspect of the technology-policy feedback link rarely studied is how technology helps in assessing a policy’s effectiveness in achieving its intended impact (e.g., smart metering and final energy consumption or remote sensing and land-use changes). Thus, one of the topics we’re interested in is what kind of policy interventions aiming at nurturing new technologies are most effective in creating new actor networks around this new technology. We’re also interested in the effect of institutions on the technology-policy feedback link, how technology differences can be integrated into policy design, and how technology spillover from other jurisdictions affects technology policy dynamics in the receiving countries. Our panel aims at fostering the systematic endogenization of technological change in policy research, particularly in policy design studies. We seek to bring together perspectives and insights from innovation studies and policy analysis. Please see the call for papers below. Deadline for paper proposals is 15th January 2017.

Call for Papers: ‘Designing Sticky Policies: How to Steer the Co-evolution of Policy and Technology’ The panel invites papers relating to four topics concerning the design of sticky policies to steer the co-evolution of policy and technology: 1) Policy interventions can nurture new technologies, leading to the creation of new actor networks that in turn influence long-term policy dynamics. Our understanding of the policy designs that are most effective in creating new actors is limited. We invite papers that systematically compare policy designs and their impact on the creation of low-carbon actor networks that fundamentally alter policy dynamics. 2) Political institutions moderate the speed, direction and stickiness of policy interventions. The moderating effect of institutions on policy dynamics is mostly analyzed in isolation, with systematic cross-country comparisons missing. We invite papers that analyze the effect of institutions on the technology-policy feedback link in order to improve policy design for different institutional contexts (such as uni-/bicameral legislations and federalism). 3) Technology differences can also affect the technology-policy feedback link: technologies differ in their disruptive potential as well as their learning rates, which in turn will entail different speeds of policy adjustment. Also, different technologies allow different shares of the supply chains to be localized. While these differences are widely recognized, systematic research to explain them is missing, leaving open the long-term effects of technology selection on policy dynamics. We invite papers that investigate how policies that are sensitive to technology differences can be designed. 4) While policy diffusion is well-studied, technology spillovers and their effect on policy dynamics are rarely studied. Policy-induced technological change as a driver of policy change in other jurisdictions is not analyzed systematically, nor is how technological innovation external to a policy field affects policy implementation and monitoring (e.g., remote sensing and forestry).We invite empirical and conceptual papers that aim at designing future policy interventions that are more adaptive to technological innovation.
