Dear EPSA community, We are organizing a workshop on cleavage politics in Western Democracies. This workshop will bring together scholars at different career stages (with an emphasis on early career researchers) to present and discuss draft papers on the contemporary divide mobilized primarily by far right and green/left-libertarian parties. Our motivation is to facilitate research on how and why the structure of political conflict has shifted markedly in Western democracies. What are the general trends? How can one explain variation across countries and parties? Our ultimate aim is to provide a forum that will contribute to an understanding of the connections across voting behavior, party competition, and party system change in Western democracies. The Workshops are designed to be a forum for substantive discussion on research in progress and collaboration among scholars. They are gatherings of approximately 15 to 20 papers from several different institutions, lasting for about 4 days. PhD students can apply for funding.
