Call
For Papers: Eighth Annual Conference on State Politics and Policy
"Elections and Representative Democracy in the States"
Temple University
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
May 30–31, 2008
Proposals are
invited for the Eighth Annual Conference on State Politics and Policy,
co-sponsored by Temple University's Institute for Public Affairs and Department
of Political Science, and State Politics and Policy Quarterly.
The conference will be held in Philadelphia on May 30–31, 2008,
with the theme "Elections and Representative Democracy in the States."
Special panels and presentations will be organized around connections
at the state level among elections and public opinion, legislators' preferences,
and public policy, and proposals for papers addressing these topics are
particularly encouraged. Proposals involving any area of state politics
and policy, as well as relations among local, state, and federal governments,
will be welcome, however. The conference will include scholars with diverse
interests employing a multiplicity of methodological approaches. The organization
of panels will reflect the topics addressed in the proposals accepted.
