Call for Papers

Call for Papers Green Leviathan, ecological insurance agency, or capitalism’s agent? Revisiting the Ecological State in the Anthropocene



Workshop 31 at ECPR Joint Sessions in Mainz, Germany, 11-16 March 2013. The workshop is endorsed by the ECPR Standing Group on Environmental Politics

Deadline for paper proposals: 1st November 2012 via: http://new.ecprnet.eu/Joint%20Sessions/InformationPaperProposal.aspx



Recent decades have seen important research on the instruments, institutions and politics of environmental policy, often in a comparative perspective. In international relations, the creation of ever new environmental regimes has been well explored. What is missing, however, is a systematic inquiry into the repercussions of its growing environment-related activities on the discipline’s understanding of the state. This workshop aims at creating bridges between environmental policy analysis and political theory to narrow this gap and develop a research agenda.
