Hi All, See below for a call for papers for an interesting workshop in Warsaw. Please contact the conference planners if you have questions.
best, dgwebster Dear Colleagues, We are happy to invite you to submit a paper proposal for the workshop on the Politics of Non-Proportionate Policy Response, which will take place as part of the ECPR Joint Sessions of Workshops, at the University of Warsaw, Poland, from 29 March - 2 April 2015. Registration for paper proposals will open on August 1, 2014, and close on December 1, 2014. The workshop theme is derived from the punctuated equilibrium theory which suggests that policy responses will oscillate between periods of underreaction to the flow of information coming from the environment into the system, and overreaction to it due to disproportionate information processing (Jones and Baumgartner 2005). The aim of the workshop is to take this promising research agenda further by focusing on the dynamics of overreaction and underreaction in enacting policy solutions, and on the varieties of policy over- and underreaction. The workshop also revolves around the life-cycles of longer-term over- and undereaction which are propelled by self-reinforcing processes, as well as the analytical reach of concepts which aim at capturing these phenomena, namely, policy bubbles and policy anti-bubbles. Please see the call for papers here: http://www.ecpr.eu/Events/PanelDetails.aspx?PanelID=2417&EventID=90 Our aim is to stimulate a discussion across a wide range of sub-disciplines in political science and public policy as well as in a wide range of policy areas.
