"Political Networks in an Interdisciplinary World"
===================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Sixth Annual Political Networks Conference will be held June 26-29,
2013 at the Bloomington campus of Indiana University.
The study of political networks is a key component of the
interdisciplinary field of network science. Network science provides
various tools and concepts with the potential to transform the study of
governance and politics by allowing political scientists to develop more
realistic theories and methods that capture important social aspects of
political life. At the same time, political science can enhance the
study of networks by understanding the political dimensions of emerging
socio-technical networks as well as the policy implications of networks
in other domains such as medicine and health care. This conference aims
to strengthen this synergy and further demonstrate the importance of
networks as core to political life and a central topic of study in
political science.
We are soliciting papers that apply network ideas, from substantive
insight to methodological innovation, in the fields of American
Politics, International Relations, Comparative Politics, Political
Theory, Public Administration, and Political Methodology. We are
particularly interested in proposals that demonstrate the
interdisciplinary synergy of network science, including highlighting
major findings of importance to political science, how political science
is influencing the overall direction of network science, and how
theories and methods from other disciplines might be usefully adopted
for the study of political phenomena. Submissions are encouraged from a
wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to, political
science, sociology, economics, anthropology, psychology, business,
information systems, and complex systems.
Due to the success of the training sessions held in previous
conferences, we will continue to provide two days of workshops covering
introductory and advanced topics starting on June 26.
The full conference will kick off on June 27 with an opening reception
and keynote address, with a full schedule of panel presentations on June
28 and 29, including plenary addresses by Robert Huckfeldt (Political
Networks: State of the Science) and other speaker to be determined.
Details, including links to registration, links to accommodation
(available at attractive rates until the end of May), and application
for aid will be available at http://polnet2013.indiana.edu.
Please submit your ideas for papers and panels, and plan to attend the
6th Annual Political Networks Conference.
