si avvicina la scadenza per l'ecpr joint session di granada
http://www.essex.ac.uk/ecpr/events/jointsessions/granada/
1 dicembre per l'abstract
metà aprile la joint session
con moltissimi panel di nostro interesse, tra cui
Local Participation in Different Contexts e Comparing Environmental
Movements...
chi pensa di andare? io presentare qualcosa al panel sulla
partecipazione locale, ho già qualcosa di pronto, ma volendo mi
piacerebbe anche preparare un lavoro comparativo nuovo, se qualcuno ha
voglia di lavorarci insieme...
anche sugli aspetti logistici, sarebbe bello riuscire a coordinarsi un
poco fra di noi...
alla prima riunione di PolisLombardia troviamo magari il tempo di
parlarne un attimo?
a proposito: dobbiamo vederci rapidamente per fare il punto sulla
collana, e per fissare i primi seminari. Riunione lunga, perciò
Propongo qualche data:

lun 4 h 16.30
giov 7 h 16.30
merc 13 h 16.30
giov 14 h 16.30
che ne dite?
Prima della riunione riusciamo a far circolare i nuovi indici dei libri?
ciao

Long outline

The aim of the workshop is to investigate (changes in) local political
participation in different institutional and political contexts. In the
past decades, major changes have taken place all over Europe with
regard to citizen integration into local politics. First, we want to
look more closely at old and new opportunity structures of local
political participation and their use in practice, in order to get a
picture of actual trends shaping today's participation in local
politics. The focus, however, will be the investigation of contexts
affecting local political behaviour. Although participation is often
explained by individual characteristics, it also varies according to
differences in the institutional and political context - such as the
size of a community, institutional arrangements or the opportunity
structures given. The context can directly affect the gains and the
losses of the individual participatory act. Additionally, it can
indirectly change the relationship between individual characteristics
and participation. We therefore want to look especially at macro
determinants of local participation.

Studying context effects upon local participation from a comparative
(and hopefully international) perspective additionally offers a problem
solution to studies of national political participation. The number of
available cases can be easily extended, thereby increasing the
political and institutional variations in contexts, which again helps
to understand of how participation works.

The workshop is open to all researchers studying local political
participation empirically, although they may come from different
research traditions. Comparative approaches are especially welcome -
taking into account the contexts where the participation takes place.

Long outline

As the politics of the environment have become increasingly intertwined
with issues of social justice, globalization and development,
environmental groups and organizations have also broadened their
agendas and sought to strengthen ties with allies in other countries,
often crossing the North-South divide. The major aim of this workshop
is to compare majority and minority world environmental groups through
a mix of case studies, comparative analysis and theoretical work.

Themes to be explored include: the relationships between majority and
minority world environmental groups in trans-national networks and
joint campaigns, possible colonization of Southern groups by Northern
organizations; Southern influences on Northern agendas; examination of
the networks between environmental groups within the majority world;
comparative models for explaining Northern and Southern environment
movements; the applicability of existing social movement theory to
Southern environmental movements; whether there is there a distinct
Southern environmentalism; the prospects for a global environmental
movement and the implications of increased North-South interaction for
the strategy of environmental organizations; whether globalisation
frameworks help in explaining North-South environmentalisms; and
whether green political thought is challenged by Southern
environmentalism.
