Dear colleagues,
pls. take notice of this cfp for the ECPR general conference that was
developed after the violent events during the G20 protests in Hamburg in
July 2017. Police and surveillance/control are considerable part of what
has to be taken into account, so scholars of this field are cordially
invited to contribute!
best,
Peter

Title: Heuristic and methodological challenges of understanding large
protest events
Chairs: Simon Teune and Peter Ullrich (both TU Berlin)
Abstract: Large protest events such as summit mobilizations are complex
to study. Scholars are confronted with a plethora of heterogeneous actor
groups holding specific strategic orientations. These groups encourage
or discourage specific forms of action and they interact in ways that
are shaped by previous conflicts. Interactions are entangled with
processes of interpretation taking place in arenas as different as
affinity group meetings, social media posts, and television news. This
complex array is challenging. It forces scholars to make pragmatic
choices that shape the academic image of protest events. The panel
invites contributions that tackle the heuristic and methodological
challenges of large protest events, driven by theoretical considerations
or by empirical knowledge.
