"#UN peacekeepers at risk as they deliver protection for civilians in southern #Lebanon" by Chiara Ruffa CEE, Sciences Po/CNRS & Vanessa Newby @LeidenUniversity theconversation.com/un-peacekeeper… via The Conversation

We are excited to be gathering this week at Sciences Po in Paris for our annual plenary meeting. Over 100 EGAP members and friends will meet for two days of discussion and collaboration. Thanks to Vin Arceneaux at CEVIPOF - Sciences Po for hosting!

And for our final plenary… a look at the evolution of EGAP over the years! Current and past members of EGAP leadership Daniel Rubenson @maqartan Cyrus Samii & @dshyde discuss the network’s activities to date and map out potential future directions.

While polarization and political fragmentation are occurring almost everywhere in Europe, it is useful to benefit from insights from political scientists at EGAP, whose annual meeting is held in Paris.

I'm grateful for our intellectually stimulating conversations in #Paris EGAP, and CEVIPOF - Sciences Po and Vin Arceneaux's unmatched hospitality. It's incredible to engage with this growing community! #egap #experiment
