Dear Colleagues:

ETH Zurich, EAWAG, the University of Zurich, The Graduate Institute, and the
Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research will host the 2nd annual conference
on Environmental Politics & Governance in Gerzensee, Switzerland, 16– 19 June
2016. The deadline for submitting paper proposals is November 3, 2015.

Objectives:
The 2016 conference builds on the success of the 2015 conference in Seattle
(http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/?page_id=280). These annual conferences
aim to showcase outstanding scholarship on Environmental Politics & Governance,
provide a venue for scholars to present their research, strengthen their
network, and shape future Environmental Politics & Governance research across
the social sciences via theoretically informed, methodologically rigorous
empirical work. We hope
that this and subsequent conferences will motivate Environmental Politics &
Governance scholars to advance theoretical insights, work with generalizable
theories, and use appropriate empirical methods and data.

The 2016 Environmental Politics & Governance conference will be held at the
Gerzensee conference facility of the Swiss National Bank. It is located in
beautiful rural surroundings near the Swiss capital
Bern: http://www.seminarhotelgerzensee.ch/en/home.html.

Logistics:
The Environmental Politics & Governance conferences provide a venue for
intensive and high quality interactions. Consequently, the steering committee
has decided to limit the size of the conference to about 30 papers. As in
the 2015 conference, paper proposals will be reviewed and selected by the
steering committee (see below) via a double-blind review process.

There is no conference fee. Further, food and accommodation expenses for one
author per accepted paper will be covered by the sponsors.

Note: Conference organizers will not cover travel costs: participants are
responsible for making their own travel arrangements.

Participants should plan on arriving by late afternoon on Thursday, June 16,
2016 and leave on the morning of Sunday, June 19, 2016. Commitment to attend
the conference for its entire duration is essential.

Submission Process:
Paper proposals should consist of electronic submission of a Word document with
a cover page listing authors, affiliations, and contact information; and a
detailed abstract of 1,000 words that outlines the research question, theory,
data and methods along with the contributions to the evolving field of
Environmental Politics & Governance. We will consider work-in-progress only.
Please DO NOT submit published, forthcoming, or accepted work.
