SSRN on Law and Politics

by Henry Farrell on November 10, 2005

I’ve “complained in the past”:https://crookedtimber.org/2003/07/22/learned-friends/ about the lack of an SSRN equivalent for political scientists (while APSA has put together a portal site for papers, it still leaves something to be desired; e.g. no stable permalinks). Now SSRN has created a new “working paper series”:http://www.clpenet.ca/mission.html which aims to bring together “international studies in comparative law and political economy.” This looks to be a great resource – the idea is to bring scholars in relevant fields of comparative politics, comparative law, international political economy and economic sociology into a single debate. There’s a lot of fascinating work on new modes of international and domestic governance – but it’s difficult to keep track of, because it’s split across several disciplines.Worth “signing up for”:http://hq.ssrn.com/jourInvite.cfm?link=LSN-RES-all-inclusive-journal.
