Ninth Annual Conference on State Politics and Policy
May 22-23, 2009
States in Transition:
Politics and Policy in the post-Bush Era
Sponsored by the Political Science Department at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, the Political Science Department at Duke University, the State Politics Section of APSA, and State Politics and Policy Quarterly
Overview
Our theme, “States in Transition: Politics and Policy
in the Post-Bush Era” will bring together a broad range of
scholars doing research in all areas of state politics and policy.
We invite
scholars to consider how states have evolved and adapted in the 21st
century with an eye toward what may lay ahead. The Bush presidency
began with an unprecedented struggle in Florida. Events like 9/11,
Hurricane Katrina, and the Iraq War, and policy debates in the areas
of health care, the environment, immigration, and the No Child Left
Behind Act have forced states to adapt to new local and national
political realities. Finally, the 2008 Presidential context will
be fought out
in the states. Because all aspects of state politics and policy have
been affected by these events, we feel our theme is broadly inclusive.
