PUPOL2020: Call for Abstracts

Leadership in Progress: New Avenues in Studying and Developing Public and Political Leadership

Submit here

The increasing complexity of issues and challenges we are facing in the public domain is raising a call for a better understanding and development of the role of leadership. As policies, structures, systems and laws alone are not the answer, we require knowledge and learning about public and political leadership that is much more in depth and meets the demands that actors and institutes are confronted with in real life. Notions that leadership can be seen as distributed, shared, a process, behavioral, network-based and often in between functions, organizations and nations provide us with exciting new perspectives and research questions. Closer collaboration between different disciplines and professions both in academia and practice together will advance our understanding and the development of public and political leadership.

To progress leadership and to study leadership in progress, we invite scholars to submit papers that provide new ways of studying and conceptualizing leadership around any of the following themes:

  • Leadership issues in relation to real and complex issues in public organizations and the larger public and political domain.
  • Leadership as a dynamic process of actions and behaviours.
  • The interaction between leadership on various levels (political and administrative leadership, international, national and local governments, hierarchical levels within public organizations etc.)
  • The strategic challenges of creeping and transboundary crises for public leadership
  • Leadership studies that involve co-production between academics and practitioners.
  • Leadership issues in international and interorganizational collaboration.
  • The promise and dark side of leadership in uncertain times.
  • New lenses and interdisciplinary perspectives to study and develop leadership.
  • New methods, multi-methods and cross-case comparisons to study and develop leadership.
