CFP: Poverty and Policy in Uganda

The editors invite papers for a book collection on Poverty and Policy in Uganda: Governance Capacity and Policy Constraints. This collection will explore Uganda's capacity to address poverty through effective public policy. The book is targeted for academic and policy audiences, including audiences interested in the wider theoretical and practical application outside of the Uganda context as well as those with a more focused interest and stronger knowledge of Ugandan politics and public policy. Papers do not need to share a particular theoretical approach or set of assumptions; however papers individually need to be grounded in the wider research and debates informing their particular area focus. Papers need to relate to either some area connected to poverty in Uganda and/or policy capacity in Uganda addressing poverty. Theoretical models/approaches and methodology need to be clearly and systematically discussed in the submission. Deadline for abstract selection is October 1, 2011.  Please submit your 300-500 word abstract to both Andrea Brown and Nansozi Muwanga at Wilfrid Laurier University: abrown@wlu.ca and snansozi@hotmail.com. Editors will inform all authors whether their abstract is being considered for publication by November 1, 2011.
