The Centre for Advanced Studies Southeast Europe and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Rijeka are organising the first edition of their pioneering “The European Face of Political Epistemology” conference. This event is a recurring, annual conference held at the Cres Island’s Renaissance Moise Palace, aiming to situate itself as the foremost source of European scholarship on the epistemology and the epistemics of political institutions, polarisation, and democratic processes.
This year’s keynote speakers are:
· Michael Hannon
· Robin McKenna
· Jeroen de Ridder
· Natalie Ashton
Central questions to be addressed during this year’s conference:
How does multi-partisan polarisation operate? Can corruption be combated within existing political configurations and power networks? How to articulate healthy international relations? Is European electoral ignorance better, worse, or comparable to American examples? Is our perception of our political adversaries’ ignorance motivationally slanted? What norms of political deliberation suit polarised parliamentary debates?
Further Information for Participants
All participants (active and passive) are expected to supply a 50 EUR participation fee. The organisers will host an introductory conference dinner and provide coffee breaks free of charge. All other services, including travel, accommodation, and catering must be organised by participants.
