CFP: "Predemocracy", "Postdemocracy", "Autocracy"?: On the State of the Comparative Study of Political Systems (in German)

The annual conference of the "Comparative Political Science" section of the German Political Science Association (DVPW) will take place 29-31 March 2012 at the Philipps University of Marburg, under the theme, "'Prädemokratie', 'Postdemokratie', 'Autokratie'?: Zum Stand vergleichender Herrschaftsforschung" ("'Predemocracy', 'Postdemocracy', 'Autocracy'?: On the State of the Comparative Study of Political Systems"; my rough translation). The deadline for paper proposals, in German or English (at least for one panel), is 9 November 2011.

Please note that the German word, "Herrschaft", has various meanings, almost all of them implying some form of rule or governance or domination. The composite term, "Herrschaftsforschung", is not commonly used and basically untranslatable. It may refer to the academic study of "Herrschaft" in any one of these senses, or, more likely, that of "political regimes" or "political systems".
