About LiCEP 13

LiCEP was formed in September, 1999 by 19 political scientists, working on almost all regional areas including the USA, who share a common interest in research on the causes and political consequences of ethnic mobilization in both violent and routine politics.

LiCEP's purpose is to focus on theoretical, analytical, and methodological issues growing out of the data collection and analysis of the specific projects undertaken by its members.  At each of its subsequent semi-annual meetings, we have collectively worked through the half-dozen (or so) research projects that are put on the agenda.

Discussions are focused primarily on issues of reliability, validity, and the relationship of the data to the theoretical model that our research purports to test. We have additional webpages that elaborate on our goals and methods, and also include a list of current participants. Please visit the other pages linked on the left.

Thus far, funds have been raised for meetings at Duke, Harvard, U. Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, UCLA, Stanford, Yale, U. Washington, U. Wisconsin, and Columbia. There is always a "public" component to our meetings and we also invite interested faculty and graduate students from the host institution to participate for the entirety of the conference.
