Home Political Studies Association (UK) Terrell Carver, t.carver@bristol.ac.uk (University of Bristol) PSA UK is a 'Related Group' of the American Political Science Association (APSA) and has a 'guaranteed' panel entitlement at their Annual Meeting to be held in New Orleans, LA, 30 August - 2 September 2012. As Chair of PSA's International Relations Sub-committee I am looking for 'academic organisers' for these panels, which should have broad appeal to worldwide political studies, and should reflect a mix of UK- and non-UK-based participants. Please understand the terms below and reply with a panel proposal through APSA’s on-line submission process, carefully noting carefully their absolute deadline. You will be informed of your acceptance or rejection via the APSA on-line system. You will need to find up to four paper-givers, up to two discussants, and provide the name of a chair. You are encouraged to approach non-UK-based scholars for the chair/discussant roles, but this is not a requirement. Any one of these roles can be taken by yourself. Note that Chair can be combined with discussant, and that you can have zero, one or two discussants, and say three or four paper-givers. The minimum number of different people is thus four (i.e. three paper-givers and a chair/discussant), and the maximum is seven. The on-line submission process will require names, affiliations, emails, paper titles, brief abstracts, and an overall title and statement describing the panel itself. Bear in mind that anyone can make only two panel appearances at APSA in any capacity (APSA strict rules) and that this will count as one. Also bear in mind that if you take one of these roles you (and others whom you enlist) will need to give a VERY FIRM COMMITMENT TO ATTEND, as no-shows would not look good for us. All panel participants will need to join APSA (www.apsanet.org) and also to pre-register on time, and there are fees involved for both. There can be no exceptions to this. The panels will be widely advertised to PSA UK’s membership before APSA’s Annual Meeting, in order to secure attendance, and will be covered afterwards with an item and photo in PSA News.
