The 2010 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. is an opportunity for the Campaign Finance Research Group to bring together scholars, policymakers and others to discuss the state of political finance policy, practice and scholarship. The Campaign Finance Research Group invites proposals for individual presentations/papers or an entire roundtable that address new developments in campaign finance scholarship, practical analyses, policy proposals, and practice. Cross-national comparisons are welcome. Because this group has had only one panel in recent conventions, and because we value cross-talk on common themes, proposals or participants will be chosen or invited with an eye toward fostering a discussion of common questions among people with differing views.
