Navigating Democracy’s Promise: Merits, Values, and the Complexities of Governance

A Fully Virtual Conference | June 12-15, 2025

The Public Administration Theory Network invites scholars and practitioners worldwide to participate in the 2025 conference in an entirely virtual format. This shift to an online setting ensures greater accessibility, inclusivity, and global collaboration while maintaining the robust intellectual exchange that PATNet is known for.

PATNet invites you to participate in an exploration of democracy at a crucial juncture. As with previous pivotal moments, we respond with a renewed dedication to examining how public administration theory and practice can engage with political forces that challenge democracy’s boundaries, equity, and public trust. PATNet invites scholars, practitioners and students to an exploration of democracy – a construct whose meanings, implications, and justifications warrant sustained inquiry.
