2016 APSA Annual Meeting

The 2016 APSA Annual Meeting will take place in Philadelphia, on 1-4 September. Deadline for submitting proposals is 8 January 2016. The Conference Group on Italian Politics and Society invites proposals for papers, panels and round tables on topics related to the APSA 2016 Theme Statement: “Great Transformations: Political Science and the Big Questions of Our Time”.

Proposals should reflect on the challenges to contemporary Italian (and European) politics deriving from the big changes of our time, including climate change, globalisation, immigration, the refugees emergency, rising inequalities, labor market and economic instability, political polarisation and others. Proposals are encouraged from a variety of sub-fields including public policy, comparative politics, political theory and international relations. Comparative papers and panels will be favored over proposals focusing solely on Italy.
