Israeli politics can be characterized as deeply divided along several lines, including Jews and Arabs, “first Israel” and “second Israel,” religious and secular, progressives and conservatives, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi Jews, immigrants and Israel-born, and more. Contrasting visions about democracy, checks-and-balances, and the role of the judiciary have also sharpened in recent years. In keeping with the APSA theme statement, the Association for Israel Studies invites proposals about the politics of division, mistrust, and societal strife in Israel. We encourage proposals from all fields of political science and from diverse methodological and theoretical perspectives.

The Association of Chinese Political Studies (ACPS) welcomes submissions from scholars and practitioners for its panel at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association. ACPS invites paper proposals that apply diverse theoretical and empirical approaches to the analysis of China-related research questions, particularly those that address political, economic, historical, and sociological dimensions of domestic political change and the global repercussions of China’s global rise. ACPS encourages submissions that combine cross-disciplinary theory approaches with empirical research (and, whenever possible, primary sources in Chinese).

The CONGRIPS call for papers is aligned with APSA’s general theme for the 2025 Annual Meeting to focus on the reimagination of politics, power, and peoplehood in times of crisis. We have paraphrased the theme statement to focus on the Italian case, where extreme and mainstream have become deeply entangled, where divisions on the left create new space for the right to govern, and where the old technocratic formulae no longer seem appropriate.

CONGRIPS is especially interested in papers that address issues relevant to the political debate in Italy – ranging from populism, extremism, and electoral volatility to the role of the judiciary, the strengthening of the executive, and the devolution of political authority. We are also interested in papers that explore the relationship between informal institutions and democratic performance. And we seek contributions that reflect on the power of disinformation and identity politics. Papers may be theoretical or empirical in nature, focus on Italy alone or highlight Italy in comparative or international perspective. We welcome interdisciplinarity and are eager to see a diversity of approaches.

Applications should be submitted via the APSA process. Informal inquiries can be made to the CONGRIPS program chair, Erik Jones (erik.jones@eui.eu).

For its 41st annual international meeting in 2025, to be held as part of the APSA Annual Meeting, the Eric Voegelin Society invites papers in the general field of political philosophy with particular attention to the work of Eric Voegelin and the broad range of interdisciplinary and comparative concerns reflected in his scholarship. This includes: resistance to tyranny, classical philosophy, Christian thought, philosophy of history, the interface of religion and politics including radical Islam, modernity, post-modern thought, terrorism, ideological politics with its authoritarian and totalitarian manifestations, and contemporary challenges (both foreign and domestic) to liberty, free government, rule of law, the integrity of the American constitutional order and federal system including liberty, individual rights, and the tradition of Anglo-American constitutionalism–all prominent interests of the Society.

Those interested should send a 200 word precis with any proposal, a title, author’s name, affiliation, and email address. Please use a Word document for easy editing.

“Power and Crisis”

Power has been studied in many contexts. One especially interesting, but neglected, context would be how power manifests itself in crises that stem from transformations in competing socio-political arenas at both domestic and international levels. Hence, old certainties and institutional settings crumble and actors have to face the unsettling conditions of a state of flux.

What power dynamics reveal themselves when people are faced with especially threatening situations? To whom are the reigns of control assigned when groups are faced with impending threats? What happens to democratic process during such dire times, particularly in developing and emerging nations, where institutions are not as consolidated as they are in the advanced industrial societies? What power dynamics establish themselves after the crises are abated? There are many such questions that are of special interest to students of power.

In particular, we are concerned with unpacking the interplay between crisis and the subsequent redistribution of power during periods in which new actors emerge as providers of both material and ideational resources, as has been the case in aftermath of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. Yet, this conference takes a broader view in inviting papers beyond specific critical junctures and aims at exploring the dynamics of power in crisis both in a short and long-term perspective across disciplinary boundaries: economic, political, social, religious, environmental, geo-political, health, etc. Hence, participation is open to any scholarly field in which power is studied.

If interested in attending or presenting a paper please contact Giulio Gallarotti (ggallarotti@welseyan.edu) and Alina Vladimirova (alina.v.vladimirova@gmail.com).

“Political Parties and Democracy”

How parties organize has been the focus of seminal research in political science. However, it is only recently that the field has developed publicly available, large-scale comparative datasets, such as the Political Party Database (PPDB), that allows to compare detailed features of party organizations over time and across both parliamentary and presidential democracies. This development offers the unique opportunity to investigate the extent of party agency in regards to organizational reform. In this panel, we welcome papers that explore in comparative perspective how parties organize, and when parties develop or change strategies regarding internal organization. We also welcome papers that focus on the consequences of party-driven organizational reforms for electoral politics, representation, or public policy. We recognize the importance of, and welcomes, a diversity of approaches and scholarship from across the globe.

The PSAI welcomes papers related to Irish politics and its related disciplines which reflect the conference theme for 2025. The study of Irish politics reflects, in its own way, changes related to division and disorder. The PSAI welcomes abstract submission from both PSAI members and APSA delegates from those that speak to Irish politics, global challenges and comparative studies in this broad area.
