Few doubt, today, that we face a series of connected global challenges: the dangers of climate change and environmental degradation; a crisis of international finance and global capitalism; an ever-increasing logic of minoritization, which threatens to fragment communities and societies; greater social and economic inequalities, both nationally and globally; the intensification of various forms of religious belief, including fundamentalism, alongside a growing secularization of communities and societies; securitization of society, and a palpable disillusionment with politics and politicians

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the panel (P04) "Agency and Strategy in Discursive Policy Analysis" at the 10th Interpretive Policy Analysis Conference (IPA), July 8-10, 2015 in Lille, France
The call is now open and paper proposals can be submitted through the conference website (http://ipa2015.sciencesconf.org ) until February 3, 2015.
Chairs and discussants: Georg Winkel & Sina Leipold (University of Freiburg)
Background and Project Description:
Over the past few decades, following a more general trend towards social rationalization, a growing Verwissenschaftlichung (“scientization”) of politics can be observed – that is, the ways in which science and quantitative measures increasingly come to define and shape politics. Today, empirics and evidence almost always accompany policy making, and quantification and the use of statistics have become increasingly central to the practice of contemporary politics.
This 8th edition of the NDLP conference series aims to respond to a surge of new research in pragmatics, with a view to bringing together the novel, empirically, experimentally and clinically based models, and classical topics/frameworks such as Gricean pragmatics, Speech Act Theory and presupposition. We encourage papers (re-)examining the semantics-pragmatics boundary, which has been sometimes blurred by the confrontation of the new and the traditional frameworks.
