The IPSA joint RC15 and RC41 Eighth International Workshop in Zagreb, Croatia, titled Beyond Borders: Emerging Concepts, Theories, and Methods in Political Geography and Geopolitics is organized by the Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb. Following the previous workshops in Moscow (2010), Jerusalem (2013), Austin (2019), Yerevan (2021), Moscow (2022), Belgrade (2023), and Budapest (2024); Zagreb Workshop will continue the traditional framework, limiting the participation to a smaller group of scholars to discuss contemporary theoretical and empirical puzzles of geopolitics and political geography. The two-day workshop is designated to bring together up to twenty leading scholars on political geography and geopolitics to discuss the theoretical, methodological, and empirical development of the discipline.
The Zagreb Workshop will be conducted in an open discussion format, with scholarly presentations divided into four to five panel sessions, with 3-5 panelists for each session. The presentation (10-15 minutes) will be followed by a brief set of oral comments by the designated discussant, after which the floor will be open to questions and comments from the audience (45 to 60 minutes). The workshop will be organized around short paper presentations, interactive panels, and collaborative group discussions. Participants will be encouraged to share their ongoing research and methodological experiments, fostering an environment of cross-disciplinary exchange and innovation.
