Chronicle of the Institute July-September 2006

The summer period within the Institute is always a time for meetings; in particular it is usually when we hold at least the main IIAS conference and very often also the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA) annual meeting. It is when the IIAS Executive Committee meets for only the second time in the year. After the summer break, just before the academic-and governmental-world begins again, we invariably also hold our European Group of Public Administration (EGPA) meeting. I shall also mention some other activities and initiatives of the Institute. © 2006 IIAS, SAGE Publications (London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi).
