The German Section of the IIAS is inviting all members of the Institute and everybody who is interested in actual discussions on public administration and its economic, social and political functions to come to Berlin and take an active part in the Third Specialised International Conference which will deal with the general theme „Public Administration and Private Enterprise - Co-operation, Competition and Regulation". This subject will give opportunity to controversial discussions of practitioners and academics of different disciplines - public administration, business society, lawyers and politicians. We will share experiences and strive for conclusions worth being distributed in the general public and in the scientific communities.
