[ecrea] CFP - Communication, Democracy and Digital Technology

Deadline for “Communication, Democracy and Digital Technology”
conference extended to 31 January 2015!


The deadline for abstract submission for “Communication, Democracy and
Digital Technology” conference organised by IPSA’s RC 34,RC 22 and RC
10 in Rovinj, Croatia on 2 and 3 October 2015 has been extended to 31
January 2015.

We proudly announce that the conference will host Professor Guy
Lachapelle, IPSA Secretary General who will deliver a keynote lecture.

For the full list of keynote speakers please follow the  conference
web sitehttp://www.fpzg.unizg.hr/en/ipsa_conference_croatia_2015.


The conference focuses on the intersection between the work of three
strands of political science, all of which ask questions of vital
importance for the well-being of democracy globally. These questions
revolve around measures, standards and analyses of the quality of
democracy, the role of political communication in enhancing democracy
and the extent that information and communication technology offers
potential for a richer, interactive and co-created politics.

We therefore invite papers which contribute theoretically and
empirically to these debates. Papers should have the concept of
democracy (political participation, engagement and deliberation) at
their heart and make explicit links to the contribution from theory
and practice of digital political communication either by governments,
political parties or candidates, media organisations, citizens,
non-governmental actors or social movements. Papers focusing on
cross-national comparative analyses are particularly welcome.

The most successful, positively reviewed papers will be published in
the special edition of the Media Studies journal published by the
Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Zagreb.

Full version of the call for papers is available at
http://www.fpzg.unizg.hr/en/ipsa_conference_croatia_2015
The reviews will be completed and notifications sent by the end of
February 2015. The registration will open on 1 March 2015. The
registration will then also open for participants who will not be
delivering a paper.
