The Research Committee on Comparative Studies on Local Government and Politics (RC05) will be well represented at the IPSA World Congress in Seoul (12–16 July 2025), with 10 panels covering a wide range of topics, including climate resilience, intergovernmental coordination, citizen engagement, and local democracy.

The panels reflect the active participation and growing interest of a broad academic community working on local government. We invite all congress participants to join our sessions and connect with colleagues from around the world.
