Dear Gep-eders, We are putting together an ISA workshop proposal to submit on the 30th of June. Please see the abstract below and let us know if you’re interested/submit an abstract by the end of the week. We look forward to hearing from you.
All the best, Hannah, Alice and Kim Call for methodological diversity: Understanding the inside of environmental agreement making Hannah Hughes (Cardiff University), Kimberly Marion Suiseeya (Northwestern University) and Alice Vadrot (University of Vienna) In recent years, scholars have begun to focus attention on what takes place inside international negotiating settings in order to illuminate the social and political relations that shape the final products. This research takes these sites as a starting point for observing and analysing the distribution of social, political and economic forms of power that contest and reproduce political order through environmental agreement making processes. At present however, we suggest that our attempts to comprehensively understand and analyse these sites are limited by how international agreements are conceptualised within Global Environmental Politics (GEP) and the methodological apparatus available. We are interested in bringing scholars together that seek to address questions of who gets to shape international agreements, on the basis of what authority and through what means. We are proposing an ISA workshop to host a diverse group of scholars interested in and studying international negotiating sites, from Conferences and Meetings of the Parties to the approval of intergovernmental scientific texts. The aim is to identify the quantitative and qualitative methodological tools available and interrogate the methodological challenges and opportunities that presently exist for studying the power relations and social and political dynamics characterising international agreement making. The workshop will be designed to bring together scholars from different disciplinary and methodological backgrounds, at all stages of their careers, in order to identify, share and build upon the conceptual and methodological tools necessary for advancing understanding of global environmental order making.
