IDC section
The section aims to explore different representations of democracy, governance and identity shape the public space and impact the private sphere, and how such representations and their interaction construct a global social agenda. For this purpose and acknowledging that the distinction domestic politics / international politics has become increasingly artificial for both practical and theoretical goals, it proposes the following sub-sections that build on various traditions of political research, including bot not limited to comparative politics, political sociology, political history, international relations, international political economy, development studies, and peace studies:
- The 2010’s: A Bad Decade for Democracy? (organized in partnership with the Center for the Study of Democracy at the Faculty of Political, Administrative and Communication Sciences, Babeş-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca)
- Public Interest, Representation and Accountability in Contemporary Politics
