As part of our ongoing collaboration with the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR), IPSA was present at the 2024 ECPR General Conference, held in Dublin, Ireland, from 12-15 August 2024.

IPSA Panel
Chaired by Theresa Reidy, with Emilia Palonen as discussant, the IPSA panel Democratic Innovations in South Korea: Experiments and Prospects, was held on 14 August. The panel included three papers dealing with different aspects of democratic innovations in South Korea. The first paper, presented by Euiyoung Kim, explores community-based learning as a pedagogy for democratic innovation. The second paper, presented by Joohyung Kim, evaluates deliberative mini-publics in South Korea. The third paper, presented by Hyeon Su Seo, proposes the concept of "dynamic democracy" and reviews democratic innovations around the world.
