Side Events
Workshop “Measuring Governance as Exclusion”31 May Patterns of exclusion have become increasingly important for understanding a range of economic, political and social
outcomes. Similarly, exclusion has emerged as one of the main challenges to achieving development outcomes. Recognizing the
serious consequences of exclusion, the V-Dem Institute and the World Bank are partnering to develop new measures of exclusion that
will help scholars and practitioners better understand the extent and nature of exclusion across the world.
The workshop, led by project staff from the V-Dem Institute and the World Bank will include a presentation of the conceptual
framework guiding the development of exclusion measures, as well as a discussion of the proposed survey instrument and data
collection methods.
Participants will have an opportunity to provide guidance on the proposed measures and discuss how exclusion factors into their own
work.

GLD 2nd Annual Conference “Layered Authority”31 May – 1 JuneThe Program on Governance and Local Development (GLD) at the University of Gothenburg will hold its second annual conference on
May 31 - June 1, 2018 with the theme "Layered Authority." In contexts where the state is weak, scholars have highlighted the
importance of traditional authorities and other non-state actors when it comes to dispute resolution, tax collection, and a variety of
other functions. And yet citizens abiding by traditional authorities in some domains may encounter state authorities in others -- for
instance, if they send their children to public school or seek care from public hospitals. We seek to showcase research that examines
the ways in which different authorities interact, and the extent to which they complement or clash with each other. We also wish to
understand how such interactions affect governance more broadly -- at the community as well as the state level. We aim to stimulate
dialogue on such questions among scholars, policymakers, and other members of the development community.
