PUBLIC POLICIES AND STAKEHOLDER
RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

School of Economics
Stakeholder relationship management is one of the key challenges not only for public management but also for public policies.
Public management carried out by public administration units or non-governmental organizations is becoming an increasingly complex, multi-layered process, requiring making often difficult decisions by many entities and for many recipients. Therefore, the concept of stakeholders, their management and the management of their relationships has become one of the most important areas in practice. The key areas in this regard are: How does public administration build and maintain relationships with business entities or non-governmental organizations? Can we talk about long-term relationships between various types of stakeholders?
Similarly, the implementation of public policies takes place in response to the needs of not only individual people but also social groups or even entire communities. In addition, they are implemented, as well as initiated by interest groups or pressure at the micro- or macro-structural level, various types of organizations, or social networks of various actors. Here, too, there are open questions: How do actors build lasting relationships in order to implement sectoral policies? Is attention paid to building lasting relationships between stakeholders in the creation of public policies?
In both cases: public management and the creation of public policies – management of relations with stakeholders becomes a key challenge for all entities in the field of local government, government administration, non-governmental organizations and business.
During the conference, we would like to discuss and reflect on the following issues and thematic areas:
- Management and governance of stakeholder relations in the commune, district, region
- Stakeholder management by local government and central/national government
- Participation of non-governmental organizations in relationship management
- The role of stakeholders in the development of public policies: the role of business, NGOs, pressure groups, interest groups, social movements, business
- CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and CSV (Creating Shared Value) in building stakeholder relationships
- Social networks in public policymaking
- Public governance for citizens, workers, entrepreneurs and consumers
- Public management created by citizens, employees or consumers
- Managing online stakeholder relationships
- Ethics in public services

The scientific journal “Studia z Polityki Publicznej / Public Policy Studies” (http://szpp.sgh.waw.pl) published at the Collegium of Socio-Economics of the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, announces the Call for Papers for the Thematic Issue:The Current Challenges of Urban Policy
Deadline for submitting proposals/abstracts of
papers: March 25, 2022.
Notification of abstract acceptance: April
4, 2022.
Deadline for submitting manuscripts: September 15, 2022.
The scope of this Call for Papers:
The COVID-19 pandemic was and is global,
but its impact is felt more acutely in urban than in rural areas. This is due
to the concentration of people (population density) in a relatively small area,
the use of public places such as enclosed buildings and squares by many people
at the same time, and the need to travel by transport – distances in cities
rarely allow the necessary distances to be covered on foot. The pandemic has
resulted in the emergence of new problems that should be addressed by urban
policies.
Moreover, the previously diagnosed
challenges related to, inter alia, counteracting spatial chaos, suburbanization,
adaptation to climate change, and depopulation have meant that urban policy
should take new objectives into account. They result from conditions at various
levels:
- International, for example, United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals (2015), especially Goal 11: “Sustainable Cities and Communities.”
- European related to the Pact of Amsterdam (2016), the EU Territorial
Agenda (2020), and the New Leipzig Charter (2020).
- National conditions reflected, for example, in the draft of Polish National
Urban Policy 2030 (2022).
The Thematic Issue is expected to include papers
focusing on theoretical issues, comparative studies of cities from various parts
of the world, empirical research, and case studies on policies in and by cities
as well as towards cities (e.g., from the national level). The list of
potential topics includes, but is not limited to:
- Principles for urban development policy (international comparisons).
- Changes in the ways of managing cities (e.g., implementation of governance,
increased participation).
- Challenges for urban policy arising from the experience of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
- Challenges for shaping urban spaces and implementing urban spatial
policy (e.g., the concepts of the 15-minute city, the green city, the healthy
city, the age-friendly city).
- Building resilient cities, particularly in the context of the need to
adapt to climate change.
- Analyses concerning the phenomenon of spatial chaos and urban sprawl
processes.
- Challenges of digitalization in cities (e.g., implementation of the
smart cities concept).

The scientific journal “Studia z Polityki Publicznej / Public
Policy Studies” (http://szpp.sgh.waw.pl)
published at the Collegium of Socio-Economics of the SGH Warsaw School of
Economics, announces the Call for Papers for the Thematic Issue:
Policy Transfer and Learning in the
Context of COVID-19 Pandemic
Deadline for submitting proposals/abstracts of papers: July 15, 2021.
Deadline for submitting manuscripts: October 31, 2021.
The scope of this Call for Papers:
Since the beginning of 2020, governments around the world have had to
take swift and radical decisions to protect people from the COVID-19 pandemic,
an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Various types of public interventions were hastily introduced, such as travel restrictions and
admitting foreigners, organizing public events, self-isolation, quarantines,
and closing commercial and catering facilities.
Governments – sometimes with various social
partners – have also started to develop various public policies, strategies,
and public programs. For example, economy support packages, business rescue
packages; support programs for people losing their livelihoods and easing the
situation on the labor markets; programs for obtaining data on the patterns of
the spread of the coronavirus; vaccination programs; programs for adapting
public and private entities to remote work (e.g., schools and companies).
From the perspective of public policy research,
it is crucial to identify the sources of data and knowledge, which become the
basis for the creation of the concept of public actions aimed at reducing the
scale of the pandemic and reducing the effects of its spread. An important area
of analysis is how governments create action programs against a pandemic, to
what extent they rely on the transfer of programs, borrowing from outside, and
to what extent there is a diffusion of action models in the international space
(e.g., the role of World Health Organization recommendations).
Another key dimension of the analysis is the
policy learning of all actors involved in countering the pandemic. For example,
how the policy measures and tools have been disseminated across regions, across
policy networks, across policy domains, and across the vertical (sectoral) and
horizontal dimensions. It is also interesting to recognize the best practices
that emerged and circulated in public discourse at various stages of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The thematic issue welcomes
papers focused on theoretical issues, empirical findings, and case studies of
policymaking. The list of potential topics includes, but is not limited to:
- Policy transfer across the East and the
West.
- Public policy in the context of fake
news and disinformation.
- New approaches to policymaking during
the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Relations of public policy with risk and
trust management, risk communication, disaster risk reduction, disaster
preparedness, disaster management, and resilience.
- Creating and implementing sectoral
policies in response to the pandemic crisis.
- Globalization and the Europeanization of
public policy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Convergence, divergence, or persistence
of public policy in the new sanitary regime.
- Behavioral dimension of public policy.
- Ethics of public policy during the
pandemic.
- Policy innovation, new policy
instruments, and digital tools of government (e.g., AI and Big Data).
- Monitoring and evaluation of public
policy during the pandemic.
Submission Procedure:
The deadline for interested authors to submit paper proposals/abstracts
will expire on July 15, 2021, and for the full manuscripts on October 31, 2021.

The
scientific journal “Public Policy
Studies” (http://szpp.sgh.waw.pl)
published at the Collegium of Socio-Economics of the
SGH Warsaw School of Economics, announces the Call for Papers for the Special
Issue on social problems related to elections during the COVID-19 pandemic:
Elections in a Democratic Rule of Law State During a Pandemic
Sanitary Regime as a Challenge for Public Policy
Deadline
for submitting proposals/abstracts of papers: April 3, 2021.
Deadline
for submitting manuscripts: July 15, 2021.
The scope of this Call for Papers:
Elections were, are, and will be one of the key elements for
the functioning of a democratic state. This does not mean that elections
themselves, their environment, and the legal regulations related to them must
remain unchanged. However, it is important for these transformations to be
adequate to the evolving technological solutions, social conditions, and for that
elections to be prepared in a rational, professional, lawful and timely manner
so that they can be adapted to the system.
In recent years, the nature of the election administration
has been radically reformed in various countries. The possibilities of
conducting an election campaign and its financing have been significantly
reorganized. Nowadays, we are faced with complex challenges resulting, for
example, from the transfer on-line of a large part of the activity related to
creating political reality, the choices made by citizens, or searching for
information. The changes and progress that we have
been dealing with in recent years in this matter are not merely technological;
they are civilizational. Those phenomena pose challenges that go far beyond the
commonly available heuristics and the cognitive apparatus at our disposal. We
face an extreme asymmetry of competencies and access to information between
representatives of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry
and other entities involved in the political choices. As a result, not only
voters but also public administration is not prepared for the change that is
taking place.
As it turned out, no one was prepared for the events that
took place at the beginning of the 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic, which affected
in one way or another almost everyone, additionally complicated the situation
and acted as a catalyst, accelerating some already ongoing political and social
processes. It also left a decisive mark on the election processes that took
place at that time or that were to take place, and as a result, were postponed
to another date. In those countries where it was decided to hold elections,
they were of a different nature than before. Lawmakers in many countries have
made, often significant, changes to the electoral law. In some cases, even
episodic (one-off) legal regulations have been created, sometimes prepared in
disregard of customary good practices in planning public activities related to
such a fundamental issue as the administration of the election process, and in
a manner that may raise reservations from the perspective of the norms of a
democratic rule of law state. The pandemic, in matters related to the
elections, forced state authorities to take measures aimed primarily at
ensuring the safety of voters, the staff of election commissions and election
administration employees. It also contributed to a decisive reorganization of
the election campaigns, including its more dynamic and wider transfer to the
digital world. All this, combined with the militarization of information, has
led to the emergence of serious risks, including for the safety of elections
and the quality of political systems in democratic states.
Bearing
in mind the above issues, we invite you to submit proposals of texts focused on
various aspects of the broadly understood electoral process in terms of public
policy, in particular:
· Organization and management of
postal elections, also during a pandemic.
· Ensuring a sanitary regime for the
work of electoral bodies during a pandemic.
· Securing and transferring voters’
personal data on the basis of which lists of voters are drawn up.
· Managing epidemiological risks in
the context of political processes.
· Analysis of problems related to the
organization and security of elections.
· Analysis of electoral administration
reforms.
· Ways to counteract the
militarization of information and social media in the election process.
· The importance of public
communication strategies for the electoral process.
· Methods and techniques of
conducting an election campaign during a pandemic.
· The importance of the institutions
of local government units in the organization and holding of elections.
· The institution of an election
officer.
· The use and abuse of social media
(e.g., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) in election campaigns,
with emphasis on the time of the pandemic.
Submission Procedure:
The
deadline for interested authors to submit paper proposals/abstracts will expire
on April 3, 2021, and for the finished manuscripts on July 15, 2021. Proposed

The “Journal of Public Policy Studies” published by the Warsaw School of Economics, Poland, is proud to announce the Call for Papers to a forthcoming Special Issue entitled:
“Policy Responses to Migration Challenges” (http://kolegia.sgh.waw.pl/en/KES/publications/
public_policy_studies/Pages/default.aspx)
The abstract submission deadline is May 31, 2020.
The manuscript submission deadline is July 31, 2020.
The scope of this Call for Papers:
“Policy Responses to Migration Challenges” aims to cover the issues of international migration, asylum and integration as well as related public policies particularly in Europe (including but not limited to the European Union and its Member States), the United States, and comparatively Asia. In recent years, the interest in migration trends, patterns, multidimensional causes and consequences has been on the rise, especially in connection with the migration and refugee crisis in the Mediterranean region and with more restrictive migration policy in the United States during the Donald Trump administration. Both the causes and the consequences of the current migration situation are multidimensional: social, economic, political, cultural and institutional; and so are the policy responses to the real and perceived challenges. Therefore, it is crucial to encourage research and informed debate on migration and related public policies.
The Journal invites papers by both members of academia and experts on:
- Challenges and risks in public policy regarding migration.
- The analysis of public actions and interventions (e.g., reforms) in migration-related policies.
- Theories, models, and cycles in public policies regarding migration and related issues (from diagnosis of problems to evaluations of solutions).
- Stakeholders of migration-related policies, their mutual interactions, values, and motives for actions.
- Methods of evaluation of migration policies outcomes and impact.
- Sources that influence the shaping of migration-related policies (e.g., intellectual, sociocultural, and historical factors).
- Policy knowledge and brokers of knowledge (expert networks).
- Decision-making processes and policy styles in migration-related policies.
- Institutional factors that influence migration-related public policies (e.g., party systems, parliamentary systems, or public administration).
Submission Procedure:
The authors should submit paper abstracts to the editors of this issue (Jan Misiuna at jan.misiuna@sgh.waw.pl and Marta Pachocka at marta.pachocka@sgh.waw.pl) by May 31, 2020. If an abstract is approved, the full papers should be submitted to the editors by July 31, 2020, in Word format (.docx) and consist of up to 10 000 words. Prior publication all papers undergo double-blind peer-review. The papers are published in Open Access under CC BY 4.0 licenses (authors retain the copyright).
Processing and publication in “Public Policy Studies” are free of charge. Fees are not requested from the authors at any point of the peer review and publication.
Manuscripts should include the following elements:
- Author(s) contact details (name and surname, institutional affiliation, city, country, e-mail address, and ORCID identifier).
