Dear Sherrie, Raul and All,
I would be very supportive of any efforts to raise the profile of comparative
work within GEP. I am not sure that a separate list is the way to go, though
I'm certainly open to it. I think it might be more fruitful to encourage more
discussion of comparative themes within the GEP list (and other GEP fora),
recognizing - as has long been recognized within IR more broadly - that a clear
account of international politics requires a solid understanding of domestic
politics, and often vice-versa. I think the GEP journal has done a good job of
highlighting comparative work, though the connections to theories and methods
of comparative politics remain tenuous.
On that note, Stacy VanDeveer and I are co-editing a new book, Comparative
Environmental Politics, that is due to appear through MIT Press next summer.
The idea is to build bridges between GEP and comparative politics, with an
emphasis on identifying theoretical frameworks that can illuminate applied
environmental problems and facilitate a cumulative research agenda. It is
designed for classroom use at the upper-division and graduate level. The Table
of Contents is below.
All the best,
Paul

Dear Raul and Others on the List,
Perhaps it's time to start another list for comparativists. I've been
thinking (admittedly fitfully) about this for several years. Perhaps other
comparativists on the GEP-ED list might identify themselves and we could begin
talking among ourselves. I would be willing to explore what my college might
do in terms of hosting a list unless Raul or someone else is already
experienced in setting up listserves.
Best,

Subject: Do we have an equivalent to GEP-ED in comparative politics and/or
public policy?
Dear all,
An in-depth Google search of listservs in the field of political science and
public policy yielded pretty much zero results. Do we have an equivalent to
GEP-ED in the fields of comparative politics and in public policy? Any guidance
would be much appreciated.
Best wishes, and thanks in advance!
Raul
