Workshop: Law, Legal Institutions and Civic Membership

讲习班将促进关于法律和法律机构在界定公民成员资格方面的作用以及这一活动随后如何影响国家建设的新研究方向。它还将扩大对美国政治发展中所包含的法律和法律制度的理解。本次研讨会的选址是俄亥俄州雅典市的俄亥俄大学法律、司法和文化中心。该研讨会旨在促进新兴知识领域的学者之间的交流与合作。它有可能通过汇集来自不同理论方向的学者，开创一条新的、可能具有变革性的研究路线。

The workshop will facilitate new research directions on the role of law and legal institutions in defining civic membership and how this activity subsequently shapes state-building. It will also expand the understanding of law and legal institutions as incorporated in American Political Development. The site for the proposed workshop is the Ohio University's Center for Law, Justice and Culture in Athens, Ohio. The proposed workshop is anticipated to foster exchange and collaboration among a range of scholars in an emerging intellectual area. It has the potential to initiate a new and potentially transformative line of research by bringing together scholars from differing theoretical orientations.
