Since the fall of the Ba\u2019ath regime, many Iraqi and Iraqi-Kurdish universities have established <\/span>Political Science and International Relations<\/span><\/strong> programs to conceptualize political developments in the region and globally. Iraq has become a particularly interesting field of research for international political scientists since <\/span>2003<\/span><\/strong>, especially in the field of peace and conflict studies. The academic landscape, however, has often mirrored the country’s fragmentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Iraq Political Science Day<\/span><\/strong> aims to bring this fragmented academic landscape into a greater exchange with one another. This workshop is jointly organized by political science and international relations departments from various universities in Iraq. The primary goal is to strengthen the exchange among <\/span>students, researchers, and teachers<\/span><\/strong>. The format of an academic workshop will allow <\/span>BA, MA, and PhD students<\/span><\/strong> to present their theses and discuss them with peers and faculty members. Researchers and students from other universities, including those outside Iraq, are also invited to participate if their work focuses on Middle Eastern affairs in general, and Iraqi topics in particular. For students and researchers from Iraq, this thematic restriction is not applied, and we explicitly welcome all topics within Political Science, International Relations, Political Economy, and Political Theory, including multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches. The invitation is aimed specifically at advanced BA, MA, and PhD students who are preparing to submit their work and wish to present it to a wider academic community for discussion. Current research projects by lecturers and researchers are also highly encouraged.<\/span><\/p>\n

The workshop will be held in <\/span>English<\/span><\/strong>, as it is an increasingly important academic language at Iraqi universities. However, contributions in <\/span>Arabic and Kurdish (Soran\u00ee)<\/span><\/strong> are also possible. Please indicate in your abstract if you require simultaneous translation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Submission Guidelines & Deadlines<\/span><\/h3>\n

Submissions must include a <\/span>300-400 word abstract<\/span><\/strong> and a short bio (max. 100 words) with contact information (e-mail). Please send your submission via email to: <\/span>politicalscienceday@ukh.edu.krd<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The deadline for abstract submission is <\/span>April 20, 2025<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Academic Committee, composed of faculty members from all organizing universities, will review submissions and inform you of the decision by <\/span>April 25, 2025<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Selected participants are expected to submit a full paper of <\/span>5,000-6,000 words<\/span><\/strong> by <\/span>May 25, 2025<\/span><\/strong>. The paper will be presented in a <\/span>15-minute session<\/span><\/strong>, followed by a <\/span>20-minute discussion on May 29, 2025<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an alternative to the lectures, there is also the opportunity to submit and present posters at the workshop. If you wish to present your work as a poster, please submit an abstract and clearly indicate that it is a submission for a poster.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be no automatic publication of the articles from this workshop. However, selected papers may be considered for publication in an edited volume or a special issue of a scientific journal, depending on the topics, quality, and language of the submissions.<\/span><\/p>\n
