Our group is organized under the ECPR, which is the organization of European political scientists, but we do hope to include and to be able to attract lawyers, economists, sociologists and criminologists (among other) to join us in this scholarly organization. While we are located in Europe we hope to attract as many scholars as possible from other parts of the worlds as equal partners for academic exchange and full members of our group.
