> CALL FOR SECTION CHAIRS
> The ECPR will organise its second General Conference in 2003. The
> Academic Convenors for this conference are Donatella Della Porta
> (University of Florence, Italy) and Klaus Armingeon (University of Bern,
> Switzerland), assisted by Thomas Risse (European University Institute,
> Italy). The local organiser at the University of Marburg is Dirk
> Berg-Schlosser.
> As with the first conference held in Canterbury in 2001, there will be a
> conventional academic forum for presenting and listening to papers. The
> academic programme will be organised in the format of sections and
> panels, with each section chair organising a variety of panels in a
> given field. The programme is intended to be very broad, with
> approximately 20 sections, and will be coordinated by Klaus Armingeon.
> Possible section themes include, but are by no means limited to, the
> following:
> Political theory
> Political methodology
> Comparative politics
> Voting and party competition
> Analytical politics and public choice
> International relations
> Local politics
> Gender and politics
> Third world politics
> EU politics
> Public administration
> Public policy analysis
> Political parties
> Political economy
> Environmental politics
> Media and politics
> Ethnicity, national identity and culture
> Protest and social movements
> Political institutions in Europe
> There will also be an 'open' section, consisting of stand-alone panels.
> Section chairs may choose to organise a minimum of four panels, up to a
> maximum of ten panels and should specify this in their proposal. Each
> panel will comprise up to four papers plus a discussant and chair, with
> the possibility of tabled papers.
> The other part of the programme will be a thematic one on "Governance in
> the New Europe", including enlargement, the internal consequences, the
> international role and so on. This part of the programme will be
> coordinated by Donatella Della Porta and will include a number of round
> tables or symposia.
> No section chairs, round tables or symposia have been designated at
> present. Accordingly, anybody who might be interested in doing so is
> hereby asked to submit a proposal. Proposals must include the following
> information:

> panel titles, and possible panel chairs
