This working group contributes to the study and discussion of federalism and territorial politics broadly conceived, thereby including local and regional governments, Swiss and comparative federalism, and the territoriality of political parties and elites in their struggle for power. In its current form, the working group has existed since summer 2011.
Although based in Switzerland, we very much encourage comparative analyses. We operate based on a rotating principle whereby the annual theme of our meetings is defined by either “classic” federalism, local and urban government studies, or territorial politics.
Each year we invite and fully fund one keynote speaker to introduce the theme of the year and comment on all papers presented:
The Convenors: Oscar Mazzoleni, University of Lausanne; Sean Müller, University of Lausanne; David Kaufmann, ETH Zurich; Marine Charlotte Trichet, ZDA
