Dear all,

First of all, thanks everyone for the kind emails and suggestions about the need for a list for comparative studies. It seems from your emails that the topic has resonated within the list.

I will second Mike Maniates' suggestion that anyone interested in the comparativist list, please contact me directly and I will compile a list of interested folks, as well as explore possibilities for a separate list-serve.

All the best,
Raul

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.

Best regards,

Lada

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.

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.

> 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.
