parliamentary conference in Athens, the birthplace of democracy, is an unmissable opportunity for academics, researchers, and practitioners eager to explore and discuss how technology, media, and international dynamics intersect with democratic practices within parliamentary institutions in the 21st century. Experience cutting-edge dialogue and discover Athens' cultural heritage, a city that has shaped the principles of democracy throughout history.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>The conference </strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">Set in Athens, the cradle of democracy, the 4th Global Conference on Parliamentary Studies is a unique gathering for discussing how democracy can evolve to meet the demands of the 21st century. With rapid technological change, the rise of artificial intelligence, the spread of disinformation and complex geopolitical realities, democratic institutions must adapt to remain resilient and effective. This conference invites leading parliamentary experts from around the world to examine the intersection of technology, policy and societal change within parliaments, and to propose innovative solutions for reinforcing democratic principles. Participants will gain new insights and promote collaborations in a unique setting that embodies democratic heritage and inspiration.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and global political shifts, democracy faces multifaceted challenges and opportunities. The 4th Global Conference on Parliamentary Studies seeks to address the evolving landscape of democracy in the 21st century, emphasizing how emerging technologies, geopolitical tensions and societal changes shape parliamentary practices. Key themes will include the transformation of parliaments into digital bodies, the influence of artificial intelligence on policymaking, the role of social media and the metaverse in civic engagement and the proliferation of disinformation.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In particular, the conference aims to strengthen dialogue on sustaining democratic resilience, maintaining transparency and trust in an age of AI, while exploring and investigating the intersection of technology and parliamentary governance. Sessions will also cover strategies for combating disinformation and ensuring that technological progress enhances rather than undermines democratic principles.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Call for Papers</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">We invite parliamentary scholars, researchers and practitioners to submit their paper abstracts on topics related to the conference title and aforementioned themes. Submissions should explore, among others, innovative approaches to strengthen parliamentary institutions, the role of technology in enhancing or challenging democracy and effective strategies to counteract disinformation. Papers should have parliaments as democracy’s supreme institutions at the center of their focus. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">Submissions are welcome from scholars at all career stages (including PhD students and post-doctoral researchers), as well as practitioners with relevant academic backgrounds such as law, political science, social sciences, informatics and engineering. The abstracts will be reviewed by the conference's organizing committee, comprising members of the Hellenic OCR Team and Széchenyi István University. Abstracts should be submitted through this link: <a href="https://forms.gle/Mm7DbXFn9y87FBkU6">https://forms.gle/Mm7DbXFn9y87FBkU6</a></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Fee and organization</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">There is no registration fee for the conference, which will be held in person. Participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. Scholars interested in attending the conference without paper presentation are also welcome to apply during this period. However, the organizers reserve the right to close registration for those early due to capacity limitations, with priority given to those presenting papers.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Paper and abstract publication</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">A book of abstracts will be created and selected papers will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Parliamentary Studies, <a href="https://brill.com/view/journals/parl/parl-overview.xml">https://brill.com/view/journals/parl/parl-overview.xml</a></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Program </strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">The one-day international parliamentary conference will feature a comprehensive program that includes both a plenary session and parallel panel discussions on a variety of topics relevant to parliamentary studies.
