The conference provides a professional, stimulating, and international environment for PhD students and early career researchers in political science to discuss their works in progress, establish informal networks, and initiate future collaborative research. Thematically, the conference proposes an appreciation of (re)searching the ‘political’ in the face of 21st-century challenges. Resisting the scholarly urge to particularise these challenges now, we seek to provoke discussions about continuities and discontinuities in Politics as a discipline and politics as the very phenomena we study in varied contexts. This twin understanding opens up at least two possible directions of travel. First, methodological traditions in political science offer ever more sophisticated means of investigating complex and inextricably interlinked transformations in the social, economic and political realms. With these transformations also come intellectual transitions in, and alternative ways of, understanding power relations in a world that is at once in flux and impervious to political change. Second, our reading accommodates a wide array of contributions that attempt to illuminate puzzling empirical phenomena in the social sciences and to problematise the persistence of entrenched political ideas and practices, not least in the throes of our present crises in capital, climate, and COVID-19.
