Vous trouverez ci-dessous un appel relatif au workshop "Campaigning and voting in Europe. New challenges, new perspectives". Orienté sciences politiques, l'appel est  susceptible d'intéresser certains d'entre vous. Workshop, Paris 14-16 December 2015.A plethora of elections have taken place across the European continent over the last twelve months, from the European parliamentary election involving all 28 member states in May 2014 to more recent national contests in Greece, Romania, Spain, Poland, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Estonia and the UK.This conference aims to examine the conduct of European campaigns and their impact on voter turnout and voter choices.In this conference we seek to dissect more closely the elements of an election campaign and particularly to try to deal with the question of how we identify and measure a successful campaign. To explore this we aim to bring together scholars of parties, political communication and electoral behaviour in a bid to connect the analysis of the supply and demand side of election campaigns.We invite papers that seek to model and compare election campaign strategy and practice over time and also space as well as papers that examine responses of citizens to campaigns. In particular we seek to develop global understandings of what works and what does not in terms of enhancing their effects on outcomes?Papers may address, but should not be limited to, questions such as:How elections campaigns have changed in styles, strategies, tools and with what impacts?Is big data changing both the conduct of campaigns and the study of voting behaviour?Are voters becoming less predictable, more changeable and so more open to persuasion?To what extent is it policies or personalities which determine outcomes?Keynote speakers:Claes de Vreese, Professor of Political Communication, University of Amsterdam, NLRüdiger Schmitt-Beck, Professor of Political Science &#38; CSES, University of MannheimImportant dates:Friday 4th September 2015 – submission of abstract[Abstract: 500 words (theoretical and methodological approach, data description, preliminary findings; your name and university)]Please send any questions and the abstracts to: europeelections@audencia.com18th September 2015 – decision on acceptance 18th September 2015 – registration open 15th November 2015 – end of registrationScientific committeeRachel Gibson, Manchester University, UKKarolina Koc-Michalska, Audencia Business School, FRDarren Lilleker, Bournemouth University, UKRalph Negrine, University of Sheffield, UKSylvie Strudel, Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas, FRThierry Vedel, Sciences-Po Paris, FRConference supported by:International Communication Association, Political Communication DivisionInternational Political Science Association (RC22)Karolina Koc-MichalskaAssistant Professor Communication School at Audencia Business School, France1 rue Marivaux44 003 NantesFranceAssociated Researcher, CEVIPOF, Sciences-Po ParisPhoto : Auboussier (campagne 2015, Vienne, Autriche)
