Minorities Under Siege? Plural Societies Facing Plural Challenges

IPSA Research Committees Colloquium, 23-26 June 2026

Eurac Research, Bolzano/Bozen, Italy

Hosted by the Institute for Minority Rights and the Center for Autonomy Experience of Eurac Research and organised by IPSA RC14 Politics and Ethnicity in collaboration with RC13 Democratization in Comparative Perspective, RC16 Socio-Political Pluralism, RC23 Elections, Citizens and Parties, RC28 Comparative Federalism and Multilevel Governance, RC43 Religion and Politics, RC44 Security, Conflict and Democratization, RC50 The Politics of Language, and RC53 Indigenous Politics.

This year's IPSA Research Committees colloquium organised by RC14 Politics and Ethnicity is titled 'Minorities Under Siege?' and aims to explore the evolving and multifaceted challenges facing minority community members, their identities, cultures, religions and rights, in contemporary states, embedded within the changing normative and globally interconnected context. The notion of being 'under siege' is used as a powerful lens to examine the pressures, vulnerabilities and systemic threats that minorities face in an increasingly volatile world.

Update on RC14 Board from Board Chair

Allison McCulloch — Sat, 18 Apr 2020 22:11:00 -0400

I appreciate your confidence and appreciate the unanimously expressed preference that the RC leadership and the Board continue their work throughout the next year. I have heard from a majority of sitting and voting board members and ex officio board members (advisory vote) entrusting RC14’s leadership for another year to Allison McCulloch and myself. Thank you for your confidence and we hope to prepare the grounds for the orderly transition at the next year’s WC 2021.

In the meantime, please note that at the next year’s congress will need to take decision on three issues:

1.The term on board of the RC is running out for three of our 12 members, and another, elected in 2018,l has also indicated that he would like to step down as soon as we have a replacement. This means we are looking for (at least) three new members to join us on the Board in the summer of 2021.

2.As in the past, the roles of Events Officers will be open to colleagues involved in and hosting the colloquia of the RC; and since our Diversity Monitor intends to depart from the role as soon as we have found a replacement, we are looking for candidates to fill these positions now. Note, that these roles do come with membership on the Board, so if you do know of candidates able and willing to join us, do encourage them to contact myself to discuss.

3.The WC2023 will be taking place a year after the end of the last possible (consequent) term for the sitting RC’s Chair and Vice Chair. We are therefore keen to identify potential candidates to take over these roles at the WC2021. This will allow Allison and myself to continue operating the RC jointly with the new leadership for a period and allow the new cohort to shadow our work to facilitate smooth transition in 2022.

I believe this should settle the RCs business matters for the time being. Do keep us posted on your activities/research outputs/projects and events you are organising in your home institutions, further afield, or, as is likely to be the case from now on, online. I will be delighted to repost the news to our members and will be looking forward seeing you all in Lisbon next summer, if not earlier in Belgium for the extraordinary colloquium this coming December. Again, do promote the event to your colleagues and friends!

Call for Papers: Disruption, Crisis, Opportunity: Whither Democratic Governance?

Allison McCulloch — Sat, 18 Apr 2020 22:07:00 -0400

Disruption, Crisis, Opportunity: Whither Democratic Governance?

Conference organised jointly by the

RC14 Politics and Ethnicity, RC28 Comparative Federalism and Multilevel Governance, RC13 Democratization in Comparative Perspective, RC08 Legislative Specialists, RC30 Comparative Public Policy

Brussels (TBC), 14 – 17 December 2020

This conference will bring together a number of IPSA research committees to reflect upon and examine the challenges faced by democracies in the light of a sequence of interrelated political, economic, social disruptions.

Over the past two decades, European societies have experienced a series of disruptions to what was at the time perceived as the regular way of life: COVID-19 pandemic, UK’s departure from the EU, the so-called refugee crisis, financial crisis, increasing mobility of labour across the EU, EU enlargement, and 9/11, to name but a few. What have international organisations, national, regional, local level authorities innovated in response to acute challenges; and have these actually made a difference in dealing with these different challenges? How have democratic institutions responded to citizens’ needs?

The conference will provide an opportunity to examine the role of local, national, regional, and international actors in the changing role of democratic governance over the past two decades. As we are entering an unchartered territory of political and societal response to the ongoing pandemic, some of the changes to our everyday interactions are plain to see already: Despite widespread concern about increasing reliance on digital technology over face-to-face communications, the period of lockdown has underlined the value of live communications between people. At the same time, whereas the value of face-to-face meetings is out of question, teleconferencing has become widely accepted as a way to hold official meetings from small research teams to the EU Commission. This is likely to have an impact on the frequency of travel, availability of and cost of transport, that is for those companies that will be likely to evade bankruptcy. The overall emphasis on economic competitiveness of national economies aside, the EU’s economic integration is likely to shift into further areas of cooperation, such as provisions of healthcare, coordinating supply chains and service delivery to citizens and long-term residents, as we witness in response to the pandemic. However, as countries in Europe have closed their borders, there are also some serious questions being asked about the long-term impact and sustainability of the European integration project.

We welcome contributions that focus on moments of disruption to the “European way of life” as critical junctures in policy, political and institutional developments across Europe, and as such have had ripples across the globe. Moreover, the US under President Trump, Russia under President Putin, and countries in the Global South have had to develop their own coping strategies to the current crisis. How has this affected their governance mechanisms, institutions and political elites? Has there been a substantial impact on the role of trust that citizens have in their elites? Are we witnessing an authoritarian revival in the wake of the current pandemic, as some have predicted, quoting Hungary and Israel as examples? To what extent has the current crisis, and previous crises, exposed state weakness in parts of the world, and how have regional and international organisations reacted?

Papers that focus on the social, economic and legal challenges posed by crises, past and ongoing, how they have affected or are likely to affect the future direction of politics in diverse settings are particularly welcome. We welcome proposals that develop case studies or compare the effects of crises on popular societal response, policy change, political innovation, institutional design, and/or accommodation of novel approaches to delivering governance in response to ongoing pandemic.

Given that the conference will be convened at the end of year 2020, the year which will no doubt allow some re-evaluation of policy response to the major public health emergence in our lifetime, we will continue to keep applicants updated on the progress of organisation throughout in reflecting on the developing circumstances.

We invite proposals for individual paper contributions and/or panels that engage empirically, conceptually and normatively with these issues. We aim to feature the best of contemporary research on democratic governance under conditions of uncertainty or galvanised by moments of radical and unanticipated challenge, including new research by established academics as well as by early career scholars.

Proposals for papers should include contact details of the author(s), title and an abstract of no more than 200 words.

Panel proposals must include:

· A minimum of three papers and a maximum of four

· Contact details for all paper-givers, the discussant and chair

· Panel title and short description of panel (no more than 200 words)

· Individual paper titles and short abstract (no more than 100 words)

INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION JOINT CONFERENCE

RC 14: POLITICS AND ETHNICITY, RC 28: COMPARATIVE FEDERALISM AND MULTI-LEVEL GOVERNANCE, RC13: DEMOCRATIZATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE

CALL FOR PAPERS

Democratization and Constitutional Design in Divided Societies

Nicosia Campus, University of Cyprus, 24-27 June 2017

This conference will bring together three IPSA research committees to examine the challenges of designing democratic institutions in divided societies.

The conference will provide an opportunity to examine the role of different factors (e.g., ethnicity, gender, class, political institutions, efficacy of multi-level governance, the intersection between peace and democratic stability) in fostering democratization in the context of regional and global integration. We welcome contributions that focus on democratization as an open-ended process driven by either internal or external factors, embedded in local, regional, or global dynamics as well as social, economic and legal legacies of the past.

The conference will be convened in Nicosia, Cyprus at the time when the country is undergoing a complex and historic process of designing political institutions to bridge the gap between the island’s divided communities. In particular, we welcome proposals that reflect upon the constitutional design process in Cyprus as well as proposals that develop case studies or comparison of issues of democratization evident in any part of the world or those which engage a theoretical perspective on institutional and constitutional designs in ethnically, religiously, nationally and linguistically divided societies.

Possible topics include but are not limited to:

How might the changing role of ethnicity and cultural cleavages influence constitutional design in democracies?
What are the factors (e.g., gender, class, etc.) shaping contemporary democratization and institution-building in divided places?

Are there regional variations in and of democratic models?
What are the benchmarks for democratic standards in divided societies?

We invite proposals for individual paper contributions and/or panels engaging these issues. Proposals that consider how federal, power-sharing or other multi-level devices could be applied to deeply divided territories are particularly welcome. We aim to feature the best of contemporary research on democratic transitions and constitutional design, including new research by established academics as well as by early career scholars.

The keynote speaker is John McGarry, Professor of Political Studies, Canada Research Chair in Nationalism and Democracy at Queen’s University Canada.

Proposals for papers should include contact details of the author(s) and an abstract of up to 200 words.

Panel proposals must include:

a minimum of three papers and a maximum of four
contact details of paper-givers, and (if you have them) the discussant and chair
Panel title and individual paper titles
Short description of panel (max 200 words)

The final deadline for electronic submission of proposals for papers or panels will be 31 January 2017. Notices of acceptance will be sent out by 10 February 2017. Proposals should be submitted online at: https://form.jotformeu.com/62653954338364

2016 Report for RC 14

Allison McCulloch — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 10:38:00 -0400

Chair Timofey Agarin; Vice-Chair Allison McCulloch

Greetings!

As the newly elected Chair, I would like to provide you, as members of RC 14, with an update on our recent activities and our future plans.

Recent RC 14 conference meetings

Joint Conference on 'Rethinking Territoriality. Between Independence and Interdependence' (Edinburgh, Scotland, September 2015)

The Research Committee's latest colloquium in September 2015 at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland was a tremendous success. For the first time, we joined forces with two other RCs - RC 28 (Comparative Federalism and Multilevel Governance) and RC 50 (Politics of Language) - for a three-day event under the framework theme of ‘Territorial politics.’ More than 70 papers presented from both young and established scholars.

IPSA World Congress (Poznan, Poland, July 2016)

RC 14 was among the most active and visible research committees at the 2016 World Congress in Poznan. With 18 sponsored and co-sponsored panels, the RC is in very good standing in anticipation of the Brisbane World Congress in 2018 (see more below). A full listing of panels from Pozznan can be found at: https://wc2016.ipsa.org/events/istanbul2016/session/rc14-politics-and-ethnicity. By clicking on a panel name, you can see the list of abstracts for that panel.

Upcoming Conferences and Meetings

Joint Conference on Democratization and Constitutional Design in Divided Societies (Nicosia, Cyprus, tentatively scheduled for June 2017)

With the next World Congress scheduled for 2018 in Brisbane, Australia, we are planning to host an interim joint colloquium in 2017. Allison and I, working in conjunction with our colleague, Neo Loizides (University of Kent), are in the initial planning stages for the conference, which will take place in Nicosia, Cyprus in late June 2017. We are exploring collaborating with RC 28 (Comparative Federalism and Multilevel Governance) and RC13 (Comparative Democratisation) to host the meeting, which should allow us access to IPSA funds. We are now in the process of crafting a call for papers and will be issuing it shortly to the list and we would like to encourage you all to apply for participation and disseminate it widely. Watch this space for more details!

IPSA World Congress (Brisbane, Australia, July 2018)

Looking ahead to the next World Congress, we have asked Stephanie Lawson (Macquarie University) to act as our local contact person. She will help us to identify opportunities early on for formal and informal meetings during the WC but will also help to bring the focus on Ethnicity in Politics to the fore, especially on the issue of indigenous peoples. One possibility we are exploring is to have a plenary session on the theme of Ethnicity and Politics at the WC in Brisbane.

The Call for Papers for the World Congress should be expected in July 2017. At that time, I will issue a call to our membership for paper and panel proposals directly in order to better facilitate the creation of panels for Brisbane. We encourage you all to apply for participation and to disseminate the CfP widely.
