by using scientific approaches from the field of economics, public policy, political science, sociology, management studies and other fields of social sciences.

Papers in Political Science which deal with one or several elements of the political system meant in a broader sense are invited in the section. Writings can be directed at the description and comparison of political institutions, the survey of political actors (parties, politicians), the presentation of elections or voters’ behavior, the explanation of various political events but they can be of topics in Public Policy, Political Theory, History of Politics or Political Communication.

Section Secretary:

Sociology

In the sociology session, we invite papers that use sociological methods to investigate a social, economic problem or cultural phenomenon. The diversity of the discipline makes it a difficult undertaking to define the exact topic and method. In line with the research profile of the department, we invite papers on  

– the study of a social problem of relevance to social policy (e.g. poverty, ethnic conflict, segregation, deviance, gender, elites, education,) – or  

– critical analysis and/or empirical testing of an important sociological theory or approach 

Papers using either qualitative (e.g. interviews) or quantitative (e.g. questionnaires) methods are welcome.
