Parliamentarism and Electoral Systems in the 21st Century
Warsaw, 23–24 November 2026
CALL FOR PAPERS
1. Conference subject-matter
It is impossible to envision a modern democratic system without a properly functioning parliament. As a collegial body, the parliament not only embodies the legislative authority, but also serves as a vital channel of citizen representation. Indirect exercise of sovereign power through elected representatives remains a cornerstone of democratic governance. Ensuring political representation that realistically reflects the diversity of societal views is essential for legitimizing legislative authority – and this process begins with the electoral system.

Conference subject-matter
Global ecological challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, transboundary pollution, and freshwater depletion, ecosystem collapse, and widespread environmental degradation, are reshaping the political and legal landscape of our time. These interconnected ecological issues operate as structural forces that transform societies, strain public institutions, and challenge the foundational normative and institutional principles on which constitutional democracies rely.

Legal systems frequently regulate peacetime emergencies and wars in separate ways. Peace is often viewed as the normal situation, whereby war sorts under a separate legal framework with distinct differences in for instance mandates for use of force and delegations in levels for decision-making. This compartmentalised view on peace and war emphasises a need to define under what regulatory framework each crisis is to be handled. Although many states share the view that peace and war are regulated in different and distinct ways, they tend to differ when it comes to defining how peace-time emergencies and war respectively are regulated.

Roundtable subject matter
Legal systems frequently regulate peacetime emergencies and wars in separate ways. Peace is often viewed as the normal situation, whereby war sorts under a separate legal framework with distinct differences in for instance mandates for use of force and delegations in levels for decision-making. This compartmentalized view on peace and war emphasizes a need to define under what regulatory framework each crisis is to be handled. Although many states share the view that peace and war are regulated in different and distinct ways, they tend to differ when it comes to defining how peace-time emergencies and war respectively are regulated. This round table aims to explore constitutional challenges emanating from hybrid warfare threats like influence operations, lawfare, sabotage and cyberattacks. Are there differences and similarities as to how states view, handle and regulate peace time emergencies and war in the current security environment?
