In 2025-26, the Centre is supporting a series of work-in-progress seminars featuring the work of a range of Politics and International Studies researchers at Warwick. Highly diverse in focus and goals, all of these researchers are touching upon features and challenges of democracy today. All Warwick researchers, including PhD students, are welcome to attend these sessions – contact Michael Saward on m.j.saward@warwick.ac.uk if you wish to attend one or more sessions in order to receive the materials (e.g., a draft journal article) we will discuss.’
