Princeton Conference on Environmental Politics:
Research Frontiers in Comparative and International Environmental Politics
Princeton University, December 2-3, 2011
Sponsored by
Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance
Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a conference on Environmental Politics at the Niehaus Center
for Globalization and Governance, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and
International Affairs, Princeton University on December 2-3, 2011. The
conference aims at connecting research communities across continents,
presenting cutting-edge research in environmental politics, and identifying
future research directions in comparative and international environmental
politics. The steering committee will also identify a subset of selected papers
for a special issue in a major political science journal. Editors of key
political science journals are likely to attend the conference.
Agenda and Rationale
We are particularly interested in proposals that study environmental politics
from an international or comparative political economy perspective.
Traditionally, IR scholars have emphasized the role of international factors
(international regimes, trade, FDI, epistemic communities, IGOs and INGOs)
while the comparativists have focused on domestic variables (domestic political
institutions, partisanship, economic variables, interest group pressures) to
explain environmental policy outputs and outcomes. This conference invites
leading scholars to systemically examine the roles of domestic and
international factors alone or in interaction to develop more nuanced models of
environmental politics across space and time. Some of the broad research areas
and questions include (but not limited to):
- Environmental politics in authoritarian states,
- Effects of political and economic transitions on the natural
environment,
- The role of citizen preferences and civil society on environmental
policy choices,
- The role of international networks --- e.g., trade, FDI, IGO, NGO
--- on environmental policy choices,
- The effectiveness of voluntary regulations and new forms of
governance on environmental policy outcomes,
- Agenda setting in domestic and global environmental politics.
Expenses
Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance has generously offered to cover
economy class travel and lodging for paper presenters.
