From Indopedia

  • The 4th Annual Conference of Graduate Students in the fields of political science, international relations and public policy will convene in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Thursday, December 18th, 2008. Students of political phenomena who work in related fields are also welcomed to present their work in the conference (e.g. Political and Law, Political History, Political Economy, Political geography, political philosophy, political psychology, and political communication).
  • The conference has two tracks:

-- Panels: This track holds panels on selected themes. Three papers will be presented in each panel, and participants will not be required to submit a paper in advance. A 90 minute slot will be assigned for each panel. Panel chairs and respondents will be senior faculty members. Consideration for inclusion in this competitive track requires the submission of an extended abstract (approximately 600 words).

-- Research workshop: This track holds thematic one-day or two-day research workshops. Participation in most workshops will be restricted to paper presenters (preferably doctoral students) and discussants (senior faculty members). A 60-90 minute slot will be assigned for presentation/discussion of each paper. Consideration for inclusion in this highly competitive track requires the submission of an extended abstract (approximately 800 words). Depending on the number of successful applicants, workshops may be extended to two days.

  • This year we offer four workshops:

WORKSHOP 1: Theories of Policy Change in Comparative Perspective; Chairs: Prof. Frank Baumgartner (Penn State, USA) & Dr. Raanan Sulitzeanu-Kenan (Hebrew University)
