Conference Papers

SSRN Search Instructions

In 2009 APSA moved its conference paper system to the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). While the APSA pages are being enhanced please note these methods to find a paper:

There are two ways for you to find papers:

Search
Go to the main ssrn.com web site and click on their search tab. Your search here will be across all SSRN papers but if you search by author or title you will have an easy time of it. Our papers are identified with a line that reads APSA Toronto 2009 Meeting

Browse
If you click on the browse link (in the gray bar) you can then click on + sign next to political science network. Then click on the + sign next to conferences and meetinggs, then the + sign next to American Political Science Association meetings and then the + sign next to APSA 2009 Toronto Meeting. The resulting list is all the Annual meeting Divisions. If you click on the + sign next to any of them you will see a list of panels. If you then click on the + sign next to the panel of interest (or on the panel title itself) you'll find what papers are available there.
