Abstract

This panel provides critical meta-reflection on political ontology itself, examining its theoretical foundations, practical limitations, and future directions. Papers might assess critiques of political ontology's accessibility, explore tensions between different ontological traditions (post-foundational, new materialist, Indigenous), or propose frameworks for integrating ontological analysis into mainstream political science research.
