59th Political Studies Association Annual Conference
Challenges for Democracy in a Global Era
7 - 9 April 2009
The University of Manchester, Renold Building

The 2009 Conference

We live, it is said, in a global era characterised by a reduction in state sovereignty, an increase in global information flows, an upsurge in international migration, ever-growing economic interdependence, the appearance of global political issues, and a changing security environment. All of these developments pose challenges for democracy, both in theory and in practice. The aim of the 2009 annual conference was to encourage reflection on and responses to the challenges democracy faces.
