Foreword
Dear colleagues,
Welcome to Zurich! This conference comes at a critical point in the development of our
political systems and international relations. Thirty years after the breakdown of Soviet
communism and the fall of the Berlin wall, the triumphant ‘West’ appears shaken to its
foundations.
The hallmark of the ‘West’ is the interplay of liberal domestic and international orders. The
common commitment to liberal human rights, the rule of law and democracy underpins the
Western community of values; open and rights-based societies find their equivalent in an
open and rights-based international order. Both orders are under pressure. The rise of
right-wing populism in Europe and the United States challenges liberal democracy,
European integration and the transatlantic alliance when the West faces an emerging China
and an assertive Russia. These developments also pose a formidable intellectual challenge
to political science.
For its 2019 annual meeting, the Swiss Political Science Association (SPSA) is happy to host a
Trilateral Conference co-sponsored by the Austrian and German Political Science
Associations. I look forward to our exchange of current research and debates on the
conference theme in the plenary sessions on transatlantic relations and European
integration and in a large series of panels.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank those who have made the organization of
the conference possible. The Swiss Academy of the Humanities and Social Sciences (SAGW)
and the Center for Comparative and International Studies at ETH and the University of Zurich
(CIS) provided the core funding. At the CIS, Benita Cserépy has taken the organization of the
event from A to Z into her able hands. Fabiana Koller, a recent graduate of the CIS Master
program, has helped compiling the program. In addition, Alexandra Feddersen and Monika
Spinatsch at the SPSA have provided valuable assistance. The chairpersons of the SPSA
working groups assessed the proposals submitted for this conference and helped putting the
panels together. The Young Scholars Forum contributed dedicated panels. Finally, I would
like to thank the ETH Infrastructure Services for providing us generously with rooms as the
conference kept growing bigger.
I wish everyone a stimulating and enjoyable conference and a good time in Zürich.
Frank Schimmelfennig (CIS, ETH Zürich)

114 Young Scholars Forum
The Young Scholar’s Forum of Swiss Political Science Association 2019 is a platform where we
address topics and issues which are of particular relevance to (prospective) PhD students and
postdoctoral researchers.
In the previous year the Young Scholar’s Forum focused on discussing chances and challenges that
PhD students and Postdocs face when they decide to leave academia and find a job in the private or
public sector. We thus offered information about interesting alternatives to academic pathways and
provided practical tips to find one’s dream-job.
At the 2019 young scholars` forum we will be addressing questions that are relevant for both scholars
who wish to enter/stay in academia or leave it. In fact, we will be focusing on strategies about
publicizing research findings for individuals who wish their research to be contributing to a broader
public discussion.
Event 1: Why should I do a PhD in Political Science?
The first event aims at presenting the PhD in political science to master students who wish to pursue a
PhD and to early PhD students who would like to benefit from the experiences of more advanced PhD
students. In particular, the objective of this roundtable is to discuss the different modalities (funding,
SNF grants etc.) of doing a PhD and their implications on the daily work. Moreover, we will be
addressing questions such as: “how to choose your supervisor”, “what to pay attention to if you wish to
pursue an academic career”, “if and when to plan an exchange abroad”, and many other questions.
More broadly, this event will be a unique opportunity to share experiences and to respond to practical
questions of the PhD in political science.
Guests: Prof. Nathalie Giger (University of Geneva), Dr. Petra Holtrup (Managing Director and
Doctoral Rrogramme Manager, University of Zurich), Ari Ray (PhD Student, University of Zurich),
Dr. David Weisstanner (PostDoc, University of Oxford)
Organization: Dr. Nadja Mosimann (Universities of Geneva and Zurich)
Moderation: Anna-Lena Nadler
Event 2: Making your research visible (also) for non-specialized audiences
This year we would like to address a topic that is of increasing importance for PhD students and
Postdocs, namely, sharing research findings with a broader (non-specialized) audience and how to
make an impact on public debates. To this aim we invite guests, both scholars who regularly share
their research findings with the public, and experts, who work in the field of knowledge transmission,
to discuss about the opportunities and pitfalls of engaging in public communication. We will be
addressing questions such as “which kinds of outlets/opportunities are available for communicating
with non-academic audiences”, “what kind of strategy should be chosen to diffuse research findings”,
as well as share some practical tips about how to best write such pieces or giving interviews to media
representatives.
Guests: Karin Frei (Journalist, karinfrei.ch), Prof. Alexandre Afonso (University of Leiden),
Dr. Sara Bütikofer (Researcher, University of Zurich and Editor of DeFacto),
Prof. Georg Lutz (University of Lausanne and director of FORS)
Organization: Dr. Nadja Mosimann (Universities of Geneva and Zurich)
