[GeoForAll-UrbanScience] Potentially important to us! Public Administration Review call for papers - relevant to our Urban Science efforts

[Charles Schweik]

Hi GeoForAll Urban Thematic,

(Sending this through the Urban Science thematic listserv -- hopefully all
who are on the wiki list are subscribed!)

See below. This looks very relevant to our Thematic in a high profile
journal. I'm wondering if we want to collaboratively develop a paper on our
Smart City vision ?

My fall will be VERY busy. But I could at least be a co-author and
contribute the Commons-Based Peer Production idea and other content from
the NSF RCN proposal. Anyone interested in taking the lead or interested in
helping?

Charlie

*PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION REVIEW*

Call for Papers



*Symposium: Interlocal Collaboration and Horizontal Regional Governance: An
International Perspective*

*António Tavares (University of Minho, Portugal) and **Bin Chen (Baruch
College/CUNY & Tongji University), Guest Editors*



Local governments around the world have increasingly encountered the public
policy challenges spanning across multiple jurisdictions. They have dealt
with problems of regional significance in a variety of ways. There is a
long tradition of studying intergovernmental collaboration and regional
governance in the North America. The number of scholarly contributions to
this lively debate in the US and Canada contrasts with the paucity of
theoretical attention and empirical investigation of self-organizing
solutions for regional governance outside the North American context.



Consolidation or amalgamation of local governments as a top-down approach
remains popular in many places. Yet many bottom-up and voluntary solutions
to regional collective action dilemmas have emerged as viable alternatives,
including networks, interlocal service agreements and public-private
partnership arrangements. They are not well understood outside the U.S.
context.



We seek a broad range of manuscripts that explore the use of horizontal,
collaborative and voluntary solutions to collective action dilemmas across
regions and metropolitan areas around the world. Informal networks,
inter-local collaborative arrangements or associations of municipalities
are examples of policy instruments designed to address problems of regional
governance in many policy areas, including economic development,
environmental sustainability, transportation and urban planning, land use
management, etc.



Qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method studies with proven or potential
capability to advance the state of research in the field of Public
Administration will be considered for selection. Comparative articles are
especially welcome.



Manuscripts are due no later than January 31, 2016 to the coordinating
guest editors at atavares at eeg.uminho.pt  and bin.chen at baruch.cuny.edu.
After initial screening, authors of selected manuscripts will be invited to
submit directly to PAR’s Editorial Manager for double blind review, with
final decisions regarding publication being made by PAR’s editors. All
authors should comply with PAR’s style guidelines.
