IASGP Annual Conference 2020 – CfP
2020 promises to be another fascinating year in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. German takes on the Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2020, while there are growing questions about who will succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel, and indeed the future of the grand coalition government following the SPD’s change of leadership. Its party system seems to be reshaping, with the Greens on the rise and the AfD seemingly becoming established. There are growing questions about its role in the world too: conflict with the USA over trade, Russia and military expenditure call into question its commitment to the Transatlantic alliance. In Austria, a new ÖVP/Green government has taken office after a tumultuous year, and Switzerland too is working through the consequences of its recent elections.
In the light of those events and in collaboration with the Düsseldorf Party Research Institute (PRuF), the 46th annual conference of the International Association for the Study of German Politics seeks to understand German politics, and the politics of other German-speaking countries, as we enter the new millennium. Papers addressing any aspect of German politics and international relations will be welcome, as will papers on the politics of other German-speaking countries. You should be prepared to circulate a written version of the paper at least two weeks before the conference. The Association especially encourages women, and young scholars from around the world to submit their papers.
