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, particularly proposals that address the 2012 APSA Meeting theme of “Representation and Renewal.” 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 scholars and practitioners with differing views.
