of Political Science Students' Annual Conference visit the conference website here The Union of Political Science Students (UPSS) at the Graduate Faculty of New School University will host its annual conference April 21st-22nd. This year's theme problematizes the "triumph of democracy", a label that often obscures the reality political communities face when they undergo this fundamental shift. The challenge for political communities now is to define themselves in relation to the globalization of capital, regional integration, democratic transitions, transnational governance, and renewed state autonomy. The purpose of this conference is to address how political communities have evolved due to changing contexts and the practice of theoretical models. Panel topics include: democracy in Iraq, new formulations of national identity, regional integration, the persistence of race, and the philosophical underpinning of rights and the polity. Keynote
