International Political Theory (IPT) is a fast-growing field. Broadly, it applies a philosophical mode of enquiry to international politics. The IPT Standing Group brings together and provides a forum for political philosophers/theorists whose interests lie predominantly in international affairs and scholars of international politics whose interests are philosophical or ethical in character. We aim to have a dedicated IPT Section at every ECPR General Conference, and provide guidance and support to members bidding for ECPR Joint Sessions of Workshops or Research Sessions proposals.
Aims and objectives
- Facilitate the exchange of ideas and flow of information;
- Foster collaborative work;
- Catalyse joint research proposals;
- Initiate new research agendas;
- Advance the development of international political theory;
- Promote and consolidate IPT as a distinct area of the discipline.
