Consociationalism is a model developed by political scientists to explain stable democracy in Europe’s deeply divided societies in the 1950s and 1960s, and more recently to promote it in such countries as Bosnia, Northern Ireland, and South Africa. Recently, Howe, Lorman and Miller have shown that consociationalism has even deeper historical roots in Central Europe, arguing that the Western half of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, though never fully democratic, had many proto-consociational characteristics.
CEU’s Doctoral School for Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations invites PhD candidates of the related academic fields to submit paper proposals for its upcoming 14th Annual Doctoral Conference (March 27-29th). We seek submissions that might fit one of the following workshops:
abstract | How does access to independent media affect voting behavior in an environment where media are largely captured by the state? To answer this question we conduct two parallel randomized controlled experiments during the September 2016 Russian parliamentary elections. In a first experiment, we randomly select 15 out of 42 otherwise comparable mid-size cities, treat these 15 cities with an advertising campaign for the independent Russian online TV channel TV Rain on social media, and complement this offer with temporary free access to TV Rain.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE CEU’s Annual Doctoral Conference (ADC) has been organized every year since 2006, providing opportunity to PhD students from CEU and partner institutions to present and discuss their research papers, test their ideas, while gaining valuable feedback from first class discussants.
Date and Time: The ADC 2019 is held on Wednesday - Friday, 27-29 March 2019 Venue: Popper and Gellner rooms
