About

The Standing Group serves as a network hub for researchers in the field of environmental politics and facilitates electronic and face-to-face dialogue among scholars working on environmental political topics, particularly in (but not limited to) European countries. The Standing Group promotes the study of environmental politics within the political science community, and supports environment-related workshops and panels at ECPR conferences.

Aims & Objectives

The Standing Group on Environmental Politics aims to:

  • Serve as a network hub for researchers in the field of environmental politics;
  • Facilitate electronic and face-to-face dialogue among scholars working on environmental political topics, particularly in (but not limited to) European countries;
  • Promote the study of environmental politics within the political science community; and
