NEW CONSERVATISMS AND NEW APPROACHES
Call for Papers
It is hard to exaggerate the influence of Conservative ideas on the current shape of transnational, national and sub-national politics. Conservatives had been among the most powerful political actors in many societies during the 20th century and there seems no reason for a substantial change in the coming years. But the scholar interest to Conservatism still remains weak and Conservatism is mostly neglected as an ideology or a theoretical tool to interpret socio-political phenomena. New Conservatisms and New Approaches is announced with this point in mind, to provide the scholars of Conservatism an opportunity to present their researches, reflect on alternative methods and approaches of Conservatism Studies, share knowledge on peculiar forms of Conservatism in different societies, and form new links to further the scholar understanding of the Conservative ideology.
We invite all scholars and postgraduate students who are interested in Conservatism Studies to submit 200 words abstracts for a 40 minute paper (plus a 20 minute discussion time) to conservatismconference@aauni.edu by 15th of February 2010.
Conference will be held in the Anglo-American University, Prague, on 14-15 May 2010, and theoretical works, case studies, or methodological investigations are all welcome.
