The Centre for Advanced Studies Southeast Europe at the University of Rijeka is organising the first edition of its pioneering "The European Face of Political Epistemology" conference. This event is a recurring\, annual conference held at the Cres Island's Renaissance Moise Palace\, aiming to situate itself as the foremost source of European scholarship on the epistemology and the epistemics of political institutions\, polarisation\, and democratic processes. Echoing research into the epistemology of democracy\, our summer school prioritises it over competing political systems. Each year\, the conference &ndash\; lasting for five working days and featuring four outstanding keynote speakers &ndash\; brings together established European political epistemologists\, epistemologists of democracy\, and young researchers at the advent of their professional careers\, aiming to discuss the perennial subjects of political legitimacy\, multi-partisan polarisation\, electoral ignorance and irrationality\, democracy's current sustainability\, nationalism\, international relations\, and corruption. The summer school's secondary goal is to proffer an antidote to predominantly American renditions of political epistemology as a discipline\, develop a robust European research network\, and stimulate a systemic appraisal of specifically European political institutions\, trends\, and cultures. With keynote speakers and guest lecturers from the United Kingdom\, Ireland\, and the Western Balkans\, The European Face of Political Epistemology conference encompasses dozens of country-specific partisan configurations\, surveys diverse forms of corruption\, and articulates a cogent notion of multi-partisan polarisation across the political spectrum. The summer school will yield a transnational edited volume.
\nThis year's keynote speakers are:
\n·\; Michael Hannon
\n·\; Robin McKenna
\n. Jeroen de Ridder
\n. Kristoffer Ahlstrom-Vij  \;
\nThe conference will take place at the Moise Palace on Cres Island in Croatia from July 10 to July 14\, 2023.  \;
\nCentral questions to be addressed during this year's conference:
\nHow does multi-partisan polarisation operate? Can corruption be combated within existing political configurations and power networks? How to articulate healthy international relations? Is European electoral ignorance better\, worse\, or comparable to American examples? Is our perception of our political adversaries&rsquo\; ignorance motivationally slanted? What norms of political deliberation suit polarised parliamentary debates?  \;
