The central theme of the conference is “Asymmetries in Public Policy: Institutional Design and the Impact of Localism.” The theme underscores the growing importance of local governance structures, fiscal federalism, and institutional asymmetries in shaping public policy outcomes. It invites critical reflection on how localized governance can empower communities, address developmental challenges, and strengthen democratic participation.

Sub-Themes:

The conference encourages submissions across a wide spectrum of sub-themes, including but not limited to:

• Fiscal federalism and administrative asymmetries in governance.
• Intergovernmental finance at national and subnational levels.
• Empowering localities for human development and inclusive growth.
• Gender, social institutions, and pathways to equitable development.
• Localized environmental governance and sustainability frameworks.
• Artificial intelligence, labour regulation, and emerging governance challenges.
• Legal pluralism, democratic participation, and institutional accountability.
• Courts, constitutional design, and multi-level governance.

These sub-themes are indicative and not exhaustive, thereby allowing contributors to explore diverse dimensions of public policy and public law.

Eligibility and Participation:

The conference is open to academicians, policy practitioners, researchers, Ph.D. scholars, postgraduate students, and professionals engaged in the fields of law, governance, and public policy. It aims to create a vibrant intellectual space where early-career scholars and seasoned experts can interact, deliberate, and contribute to the evolving discourse on governance and institutional design.
