The Politics of Hard Times: Citizens, Nations, and the International System under Economic Stress, The American Political Science Association
Periodically the world economy experiences “hard times” such as the last quarter of the 19th century, the Great Depression, and the ups and downs of the 1970-1980s oil crises and inflations. It is commonly believed that during these periods, governments become much more interventionist; populism, fascism, or communism develop and prosper; democracies are prone to give way to authoritarianism; international conflict increases; the international economic system is reconfigured; and international institutions fail or are refashioned. What does political science have to say about these claims?
The American Political Science Association wishes to solicit articles on the theme above. Participants can contribute up to two articles and each proposal must have no more than two divisions.
The submission deadline for papers is December 15, 2009. Notification will be given in March 2010.
