Dear Colleagues,
Please find attached the Call for Papers for the next SOG Workshop that
will be held on December 14-15, 2023 at Kadir Has University in Istanbul.
The title of the Workshop is: Regulatory Governance Under Stress in
De-Liberalizing Times
Conveners: Dr. M. Kerem Coban (Kadir Has University & SOAS University of
London), Prof. Yannis Papadopoulos (IEP & LAGAPE, University of Lausanne),
and Prof Kutsal Yesilkagit (Institute of Public Administration,
Leiden University).
The Workshop problematizes what the regulatory state has become and how
it is responding to de-liberalization. In this regard, we aim to address
the following (non-exhaustive list of) puzzles:
(1) the extent of stress on regulatory governance due to de-liberalization
trends; (2) the different forms of de-liberalization and their effect on
institutional design and functioning of (networks of) regulatory
authorities; (3) the impact on the institutions of regulatory capitalism
(i.e., independent regulatory authorities); (4) the impact of
de-liberalization regarding the doctrines of regulatory governance (i.e.,
credible commitment) such as through politicization of regulation with
increased government intervention; (5) the potential changes in regulatory
agencies’ policies under stress and their directions (e.g., accumulation,
dismantling); (6) the trajectories of regulatory regimes (i.e.,
constellations of actors, policy ideas, and institutional arrangements),
how regimes are responding to the stressors, and the transformations in
regulatory regimes.
Please send your abstract (max. 300 words) to "m.keremcoban@u.nus.edu"
Deadline: 29 May 2023 (we will notify the paper givers by 12 June 2023)
We hope that many of you will find the Workshop of interest.
