Call for papers | Section on Parties and Party Systems

The APCP section on Parties and Party Systems invites the submission of proposals for the Workshop Parties, Party System Change and the Evolution of Portuguese Democracy. We invite papers that deal with the empirical study of Portuguese political parties and the party system during the democratic period (1974-2024). The thematic and methodological approaches of the papers are deliberately broad, but priority will be given to papers that focus on the long-term transformation of Portuguese political parties and/or the party system and their impact on the evolution of Portuguese democracy. We also welcome comparative papers (which include Portugal) and encourage young scholars to apply.
