Conexio

Conexio is an e-newsletter published by the Leadership and Governance Research and Application Center at İzmir University of Economics (EKOLİDER). In a world where institutions, communities, and decision-making processes are increasingly interconnected, Conexio aims to make these links visible and provide an intellectual space for reflection on leadership and governance.

The newsletter brings the Center’s research priorities to a wider audience.
Each issue includes concise analyses and conceptual notes on topics such as:

• evolving concepts of governance,

• ethical and value-based leadership approaches,

• multi-level governance practices,

• participation, legitimacy, and public trust,

• the impact of digital transformation on decision-making.

Conexio is designed as a platform that strengthens the relationship between academic inquiry and practical application. It connects diverse governance contexts—from local administrations to international policy arenas, from civil society to the private sector—creating a space where concepts and experiences inform one another.

As part of EKOLİDER’s commitment to knowledge production, public engagement, and institutional responsibility, Conexio aims to serve as a reliable and insightful resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and all stakeholders interested in leadership and governance.
