Dear All below you will find the current, PROVISIONAL list of panels to be organised by the ECPR Political Theory Standing Group at the Budapest General Conference in 2005. We have until December to offer up to 10 panels. Although the list is presently full, I am sending this email just to keep the process transparent and to invite anyone to offer more suggestions to be put on a 'reserve' list. If any of the panels below drop out over the following months, for whatever reason, then reserve panels can take their place in the list. If anyone wants to change their title, or even to drop out, please let me know as soon as possible. I'll keep this mailing list updated on any changes. That so many suggestions came so quickly is good news for political theory and suggests we ought to keep using this mailing list to keep in contact. Provisional List of Panels: as of 11/05/04. Names in brackets indicated provisional panel chairs. 1. Global Justice (Roland Pierik) 2. Post-Representation: Theory and Practice (Simon Tormey) 3. Global Democracy (Patti Lenard) 4. Emotions and Social Movements (Simon Thompson) 5. Politics and Mass Culture (Marina Prentoulis) 6. Democratic Legitimacy and New Modes of Governance (Dario Castiglione) 7.
