CONFERENCE THEME AND SUB-THEMES

The pandemic is irreversibly reshaping the arena in which scholars and practitioners confront enduring and emerging dilemmas of governance and development. What results is a new future for the development community where adaptive responses to the pandemic would leave lasting effects on individual and community practices, and readiness for unforeseen disruptions becomes crucial. This new future poses new challenges, but it is also laden with opportunities.

The main motivation of the conference is to accommodate innovative ideas for the promotion of development in the new future through various governance approaches, as informed by experiences and learnings from the field and recent scholarship.

The conference accepts submissions for panels and individual papers on the sub-themes.
