Dear Raul, Sherrie, Paul, and All, I would like to join the list for comparative politics. While it may be possible to encourage more discussion of comparative and domestic issues in GEP, a separate list serve may still add more prominence to the issues/ideas/topics relevant for public policy and comparative studies.
