Dear colleagues, We invite paper proposals for the two-day workshop "Current Perspectives on Party Competition", to be held at the MZES, University of Mannheim, Germany, on February 8-9, 2024. The aim of the workshop is to bring together scholars researching how parties compete for votes by their policy offers, their issue emphasis, and by their appeals to social groups, as well as the effect of these strategies on voters. We invite contributions from scholars with different backgrounds and encourage paper proposals that employ innovative methodologies, empirical analyses, and theoretical advancements. Please refer to the call for papers for details. Proposals must be submitted to mzes-parcomp@uni-mannheim.de<mailto:mzes-parcomp@uni-mannheim.de> by September 30, 2023. The MZES will cover the costs for hotel accommodation and reimburse travel expenses. Please share this call widely and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. Best wishes, Lena Maria Huber & Anna-Sophie Kurella
