Dear colleagues, We cordially invite paper submissions for a panel on *Compromise and Emotions* at the ECPR general conference in Prague next year (4 – 8 September 2023, Charles University). The panel seeks to connect research on compromise and emotions, both within the field of political science and other relevant disciplines, such as philosophy, sociology, or psychology. Oftentimes, compromises are discussed without including the role of the emotions, while emotion research is usually not related to compromise. However, in our view, both fields of research are deeply related and should therefore be connected more closely than is currently the case. For example, we can easily imagine that some emotions (such as anger or hatred) can impede our willingness to compromise, while others (such as hope or empathy) can support compromises. At this stage, we still lack a systematic overview of the precise relationships between compromise and emotions, and our panel aims to address this gap. The following are some preliminary questions that could be addressed in this context: · Which emotions are generally relevant in the context of compromise? · Which emotions can support or impede a compromise? · Are some emotions particularly salient in contexts of disagreement? If so, do these emotions also affect compromise? · Does it matter emotionally if a compromise is on moral or non-moral issues? If so, why? · Can the same emotion be both supportive and impeding (perhaps depending on context)? These are but a few questions that could be addressed and we very much welcome different approaches and ideas! Please send your abstract (250 words max.) to friderike.spang@unil.ch *by January 15th, 2023. *We are happy to answer your questions and look forward to receiving your contributions!
