Call for Papers: Graduate Students Conference at Harvard University Center for European Studies November 14-15th, 2013 (Application deadline: August 15th) Conservative and Center-Right Politics in the Developed Democracies: Continuity And Change This conference will bring together a diverse group of social scientists and historians to discuss continuity and change on the political right broadly construed. Most recent research on the transformation of contemporary western politics has focused on the predicaments of left-wing parties and programs, or the emergence of radical populist parties on the right. Center-right ideologies, movements and parties (such as conservatives, market liberals and Christian Democrats) have been somewhat neglected. This conference attempts to address this gap. It will provide a forum for graduate students and faculty members to discuss new research on, among other themes, the evolution of conservative belief systems and cultural scripts, the role of historical legacies in shaping the landscape of mainstream right politics, and the diverse responses of right-wing actors to social and economic developments such as de-industrialization and growing ethnic diversity. Participants will gather on Thursday evening, November 14th, for dinner and a keynote lecture.The conference will take place on Friday, November 15th, from 9AM to 6PM at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies of Harvard University. Confirmed attendance: Bart Bonikowski (Harvard, Department of Sociology), Peter A. Hall (Harvard, Department of Government), Quinton Mayne (Harvard Kennedy School), Daniel Ziblatt (Harvard, Department of Government).
