Dear colleagues, I am looking to assemble a panel and seeking paper abstracts from GEPED colleagues who might be interested in participating in the August 2015 American Political Science Association meeting in San Francisco. I'd like to receive paper abstracts and titles (with author and co-author basics like name and affiliation), and will email back within a week to those who best fit the scope of the panel. If anyone wants to be a discussant, we would also welcome up to two. If you are interested please send your abstract to eisen...@american.edu by Dec 1. Graduate students are welcome, as are international participants, provided they can get themselves to San Francisco if our proposal is accepted. Two colleagues and I are working on a large N paper, but a full and rich discussion would seemingly require some case studies, especially if scholars working on the European Union, China, or India can reply. Specialists on other cases also welcome. My hope is to submit the panel to the STEP and comparative politics sections. Thanks for considering and Happy Thanksgiving.
The panel as stands is as follows: Identifying Determinants of Strong National Environmental Performance: Evidence from a Range of Cases Panel Abstract: What causes some nations to develop stronger environmental policies than others? This panel seeks to offer some preliminary answers to this question, based on large N studies as well as a range of case studies from a range of nations. While many studies have addressed the origins of national bargaining positions nations take in international fora, few have been addressed to an issue many view as one acquiring increasing importance: what nations are doing internally "at home" to mitigate environmental degradation and contribute towards the solution of local, national, and international environmental problems.
