Please note the revised deadline (January 31, 2011) for submission of your
proposals for the 2011 Seventh Transatlantic Dialogue (7TAD) conference.
The 2011 7TAD conference will be hosted by the School of Public Affairs
and Administration (SPAA) at the Rutgers University in Newark, NJ from
23-25 June, 2011 . Please send one-page proposals to:
spaa@andromeda.rutgers.edu, stating contact details and indicating the

www.7TAD.org for full call for papers and workshop
details).
The Transatlantic Dialogue is an annual conference jointly organized by
American and European scholars of public management to foster intellectual
discourse for advancing teaching, research and practice. The annual
dialogue is the result of collaboration between the American Society for
Public Administration (ASPA) and the European Group for Public
Administration (EGPA). The 7TAD conference on Strategic Management of
Public Organizations continues the successful series of dialogues that
have previously been hosted by:
- The R. Goodwin Faculty of Economics, University of Siena in Siena, Italy
(2010, on Rethinking Financial Management in the Public Sector)
- The Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Administration of George
Washington University in Washington, D.C., USA (2009, on the Future of
Governance)
- The SDA Bocconi School of Management, Public Management and Policy Area,
University of Bocconi, Milano, Italy (2008, on Intergovernmental
Relations)
- The School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy at the University of
Delaware, USA (2007, on Ethics)
- The Public Management Institute/Katholieke University of Leuven, Leuven,
Belgium (2006, on Performance)
- The Public Management Institute/Katholieke University of Leuven, Leuven,
Belgium (2005, on Ethics)
The overall theme for the 2011 conference is Strategic Management of
Public Organizations. The conference aims at fostering a critical
assessment of the state of research and practice of strategic management
in and of public (and non-profit) organizations on both sides of the
Atlantic. Our goal is to facilitate a dialogue between and among scholars
from Europe and North America to uncover areas of convergence and
divergence regarding public strategic thinking, acting, learning, and
managing in and of public services, organizations, collaborations,
institutions, communities, and broader environments and their related
outcomes.
Authors of the accepted proposals will participate in intensive workshops
and identify public management issues, explore solutions for these issues,
compare transatlantic perspectives and approaches, and generate new
insights. This is an exciting opportunity to interact and exchange ideas
with leading European and American scholars that you do not want to miss!
