2015 ECPR General Conference

The Political Theory Standing Group solicits panel and paper proposals for the 2015 ECPR General Conference, to be held in Montreal, Canada (Aug 26-29).

There will be a general political theory section within the conference, containing 8 panels of 4-5 papers each. The convenors welcome proposals from all subfields of political theory, including work on normative, conceptual, applied, methodological and historical topics, construed broadly.

You may submit either an individual paper or a complete panel proposal (containing 4-5 abstracts). The deadline for both types of submission is February 16, 2015. Further details about how to submit proposals is available here: http://ecpr.eu/Events/Content.aspx?ID=76&EventID=94
