Reminder, ECPR conference, Glasgow

[Achim Kemmerling]

Dear members of the SG in Political Economy,

this is just a reminder that the deadline for paper and panel submissions to Glasgow 2014 is approaching soon. For instructions see:
http://ecpr.eu/events/eventdetails.aspx?EventID=14
The system changes from year to year. This year papers and panel submissions have the same deadline. You have to choose the section to which you will submit your proposals. We hope you will opt for our SG. We can run some 7 panels in total. Last year we had to reject 50% of the proposals, but that was Bordeaux (:)).

Please contact us if you need further information.

Best

Achim Kemmerling

Call for Papers: Section on The Political Economy of International Institutions at the

2014 ECPR General Conference

We invite all interested scholars to submit paper proposals to the section:

The Political Economy of International Institutions

at the ECPR General Conference, Glasgow, UK, September 3-6, 2014.

Please submit your proposals via the official conference website

(http://www.ecpr.eu/Events/EventDetails.aspx?EventID=14). The deadline for submissions is

February 15, 2014.

Section abstract:

This section addresses timely issues related to the political economy of international

institutions. We are interested in papers that advance our understanding of formal

international institutions, such as the World Trade Organization, the United Nations, the

International Monetary Fund and trade agreements. Moreover, we aim to attract papers that

explore informal and hybrid institutional arrangements formed by diverse configurations of

state and non-state actors, such as informal groups of states and public-private governance

schemes.

We are soliciting papers that explore topics related to the political economy of international

institutions broadly understood. We are particularly interested in submissions oriented toward

three directions: (1) the analysis of the emergence, design, and evolution of international

institutions; (2) the investigation of the governance dynamics within and between

international institutions as well as between international and domestic institutions; (3) the

intended and unintended effects of international institutions on governance outcomes.

We encourage a multi-method approach to the study of international institutions that

combines different methods of data collection and analysis to generate and test hypotheses

about the emergence, dynamics, and effects of international institutions in world politics.

We welcome papers that use game-theoretic approaches and econometric analyses as well as

papers that employ qualitative methods. Papers that combine the development of innovative

theoretical models with rigorous empirical tests using original data are especially welcome.

Possible panels include:

Relationships among International Institutions

The Political Economy of Trade Agreements

The Political Economy of the WTO

Informal Governance

Institutional Design

Hybrid International Institutions
