Hi Workshop of interest to GEP-ed folks. Deadline for abstracts 30th December.
Cheers Mat -- Matthew Paterson Politics, School of Social Sciences University of Manchester, Oxford Rd, Manchester M13 9PL. skype: matpwork Twitter @matpaterson Latest book Transnational Climate Change Governance<http://www.cambridge.org/ca/academic/subjects/earth-and-environmental-science/environmental-policy-economics-and-law/transnational-climate-change-governance> (with Harriet Bulkeley and 8 others). Subject: EWIS 2017: circulating abstract Dear all, The wider call for abstracts for the EWIS workshops is now out. All workshops abstracts can be viewed here: http://eisa-net.org/sitecore/content/be-bruga/eisa/events/ewis.aspx Please could you circulate our abstract (below) among your colleagues and networks :) All the best, Hannah EWIS workshop title: Exploring Methodological Frontiers in Global Environment Politics Convenors: Hannah Hughes (Cardiff University) and Alice Vadrot (Cambridge University) Participants include: Hayley Stevenson (University of Sheffield, UK); Dana R. Fisher (University of Maryland, USA); Philip Leifeld (University of Glasgow, UK); Philipp Pattberg (VU University, Amsterdam); Oscar Widerberg (VU University, Amsterdam); Matthew Paterson (Manchester University, UK); Steven Bernstein (University of Toronto, Canada); Matthew Hoffmann (University of Toronto, Canada); Frank Fischer (Rutgers University, USA) The global response to challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss are characterised by a complex range of actors, activities and arenas. These are producing new forms of political and economic relations and reproducing old patterns of inclusion and exclusion. Scholarly attempts to analyse these complexities have led to a number of important conceptual innovations. Attempts to understand the role of non-state actors and the power of knowledge in the construction of environmental problems have generated concepts such as epistemic community, knowledge brokers and discourse coalitions that have proven to have wider explanatory power for the study of IR. More recently, scholarship interested in the influence of international bureaucracies has clearly demonstrated that secretariats need to be understood as more than mere functionaries. As well as offering new conceptual tools for illuminating secretariats as actors in world politics, this scholarship highlights the significance of Global Environmental Politics (GEP) as a site for methodological innovation in international studies. However, there remains much work to be done to develop the conceptual apparatus required for untangling the myriad activities constituting the field of global environmental politics today. The aim of this workshop is to identify both new methodological approaches and popular research tools that have been adapted for study within GEP. The workshop will explore these innovations and adaptations in two directions. First, to what extent do these approaches provide an avenue for dealing with the complexities that the study of global environmental politics presents? Second, to what extent are these methodological innovations useful to the broader study of international relations? The workshop and papers aims to cover the following 4 broad themes: 1. What is wrong with the methods we have in GEP? 2. Methodological adoption and adaptation in GEP 3. Methodological and conceptual innovation in GEP 4. What more do we need?

Please put June 7-10th 2017 in your diaries - we'll look forward to welcoming you to Cardiff. In the coming weeks I will put together a more condensed abstract for wider circulation and it would be great if you could send it out to those you think would be interested and have interesting material to present.

Congratulations! The European International Studies Association and the EWIS team at Cardiff University looks forward to work with you on developing this workshop and welcoming you in Cardiff next year. Below you find further information on the next steps. Please note that we will require further information from you within the next two weeks. 1) Please send us a revised summary of the workshop for a general audience by 7.11. This should be less than 250 words, in a Word document, written in plain English language and avoid any jargon. We will use this summary to publicize your workshop to a wider audience. 2) Please send us by 7.11. an acronym and up to 5 keywords that describe your workshop. 3) Please send us a call for papers for your workshop by 7.11. of less than 250 words in a Word document. This will be used to invite contributions to the workshop. Please ensure that the call is more open for scholars interested in global environmental politics more generally. 4) Please inform your known collaborators instantly so they can save the dates. 5) Please note that how you want to run your workshop is up to you (within the limits of 20 participants). A successful model is to reserve 45 minutes for each paper, and reserve some time for the discussion of cross-cutting issues. In total you will have 9 workshop slots of 90 min. each. The following is the upcoming schedule: Deadline for sending us further information (general summary, acronym, keywords, call for papers): 07/11/2016 Call for Papers is issued: As soon as workshop titles are posted on EISA website (By 14/11/2016 latest) Call for Papers is closed: 16/12/2016 Please reserve some time for reviewing submissions Decisions on Papers due: 13/01/2017 Registration of Participants: up to 03/03/2017 Final workshop participant list due: 10/03/2017 (Updated to account for withdrawals by 02/06/2017) Once again, congratulations!
