Dear colleagues, This is a reminder for the ongoing Call for Papers of the Authoritarian Political Systems Group<https://apsg.work/> for its next season of workshops. We<https://apsg.work/team/> are accepting submissions for our new season of online workshops taking place from 10 September 2024 to 17 December 2024. We aim to select eight early-career scholars to present their ongoing research at one of our biweekly meetings. We will invite two established researchers from the relevant fields to discuss the successful applicants’ work at each meeting. The APSG online seminar will be held every other week on Tuesdays 5:00-6:00 PM Central European Time (8:00-9:00 AM PST, 11:00-12:00 AM EST). The workshop<https://apsg.work/seminar-rules/> will last one hour. After a brief presentation by the author(s), two discussants will provide comments and suggestions. We then open the floor for further questions and analyses from the audience. We welcome presentations by early-career scholars (e.g., Graduate Students, Postdocs, Assistant Professors) in Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, and related fields who study authoritarian political regimes regardless of their methodological approaches (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, mix-methods etc.). Our essential priority in the choice of successful candidates is diversity: 1. We encourage submissions from traditionally underrepresented groups, including women and minorities. 2. We strive to provide a comprehensive perspective on autocratic tendencies worldwide and encourage submissions from scholars whose regional areas of study are not adequately represented in the mainstream study of authoritarianism. 3. We also consider explicitly comparative proposals on democratic backsliding, autocratization, regime survival etc. Please complete this form<https://forms.gle/SvZv98ke4QUT7omu9> to submit your application including: title, abstract, field, and scholars you would like to invite to discuss your work. The deadline for submission is 31 May 2024. The successful applicants will be notified in early June 2024. For further information please see our website here<https://apsg.work/cfp/>.
