Further information about the conference can be found at the following link: https://www.sisp.it/en/conference2023 For the 2023 edition of the SISP Conference, the section coordinated by the Standing Group "Political Regimes" welcomes panels aimed to investigate the institutional changes that both consolidated democracies, autocracies and hybrid regimes have recently experienced (or are experiencing) in different world regions. Within this admittedly broad framework, we encourage the submission of panel proposals addressing one or more research topics from the following non-exhaustive list: – The comparison of democratic and non-democratic regimes, with a focus on both institutions, public policies, and socio-economic performance; – The various phases of the processes of regime change, such as democratization, autocratization, and other kinds of regime transition and transformation; – The impact of the processes of regime change and transformation on public policies and development; – The quality of contemporary democratic regimes in light of the challenges that they have recently faced; – The functioning of contemporary authoritarian regimes and of their survival strategies; – The phenomenon of democratic resilience and the strategies of resistance against autocratization; – The sub-national and supranational dimensions of democratization and autocratization. We look forward to receiving your proposals and please feel free to circulate the call for panels!
