The APSA’s “Green Politics and Theory” group has the important mission of advancing the study and teaching of green politics and green political thought. We welcome proposals broadly relevant to these areas, including analyses of environmental politics and the social and political transformations required to address the global environmental crisis.

The theme for the 2011 APSA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA is “Representation and Renewal,” and we are seeking proposals for papers and panels related to this theme or on other topics. We are also in interested in proposals for a panel on “New and Classic Books in Green Politics and Theory,” where you could present your own new book or a classic book in the field.

We also welcome volunteers to help with other ways in which the Green Politics and Theory Group can build its capacity and activities (e.g. an organization/social gathering in New Orleans, newsletter, etc.).
