“Political Power in Democracies” Conference

DEMOCRATIC INNOVATIONS MINI-CONFERENCE AT ISPS

Join us at Yale’s institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) for a daylong conference being sponsored by the Democratic Innovations program at ISPS.  This conference brings together scholars who study the effects of political power on democratic outcomes.  Political power in this context of any political process can be broadly defined as either an institutional feature or an accumulated asset that allows an agent to bend the outcome of the political process towards their goals.  In particular, the conference will feature papers studying gerrymandering, veto power in legislatures, and dynamics of political power in large societies.  Links to papers are provided in the schedule below.

This conference is being organized by professor of political science Adam Meirowitz and postdoctoral associate at ISPS Danil Dmitriev.

Registration is required to attend.  PLEASE REGISTER AT THIS LINK
