Causes and consequences of mutation, progression or stagnation in processes of political change and territorial conflicts are main research objects for studies on comparative politics. These questions also constitute principal theoretical and analytical challenges for area studies focused in MENA countries. These topics are currently addressed by two research projects: “Persistence of authoritarianism and political change processes in MENA countries: consequences on political regimes and the international scene” – funded by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad and Junta de Andalucía – and “Territorial politics and colonization/decolonization processes in the West Sahara”, funded by Junta de Andalucía. These projects prolong the academic trajectory initiated several decades ago by the Group for Research on Mediterranean Studies (GEIM) at the Universidad de Granada. The International Conference Political Change and Territorial Conflicts in North Africa and Middle East (CAPOLCOT) results from a collaborative initiative of both research projects. It aims at approaching, exchanging and debating theoretical foundations, analytical resources and research results of studies on political change processes and territorial conflicts in MENA countries. CAPOLCOT welcomes paper proposals focused on theoretical, methodological or empirical aspects of the following issues related to both political change and territorial conflicts. Civil society Elections Elites Ethnicity Foreign policy Gender Governance Institutions International relations Legislation and constitutions Migrations Political parties Political cultura Religion Security Social movements More info in http://capolcoteng.wordpress.com/
