A Special Issue of the Journal of Legislative Studies on the theme of Public Engagement in the Work of Parliaments: Global Practitioner Perspectives — featuring a range of papers by IPEN members — has recently been published.

This IPEN roundtable event will bring together some of the contributors to the Special Edition, who will share their research and engage in discussion around some of the key themes and issues featured in their journal papers. They will be joined by a representative from the IPU.

Speakers include: Tamar Chugoshvili (Inter-Parliamentary Union); Cristina Leston-Bandeira (University of Leeds); Temitayo Odeyemi (University of Leeds); Christine Sheldon (University of Oxford); Sven T. Siefken (Federal University of Applied Administrative Sciences, Germany)
