Call for Proposals for IPSA’s 75th Anniversary Conference in Lisbon
Now Open!
To celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2024, IPSA is organizing an international conference in Lisbon with the support of the Gulbenkian Foundation and in partnership with the Portuguese Political Science Association (APCP) on the theme Democratization and Autocratization from 11-13 September 2024. This three-day conference holds particular significance as it coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, which Samuel Huntington identified as the starting point of the “third wave” of democratization.
The event will be held at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon and is expected to draw over 300 scholars, international organizations, government representatives, associations and NGOs.
Call for Proposals Now Open
The call for proposals for the Lisbon conference is now open. The conference aims to delve into various facets of democratization and autocratization worldwide. We extend an invitation for papers and closed panels analyzing any aspect related to democratization and autocratization, spanning any region and time period, on individual case studies or with a comparative approach in any of the areas outlined in the Call for Proposals section of the conference page.
Submit Your Proposal by 10 April 2024
