About the House Series

Just like Harbour House, our HQ in the UK, ECPR is a ‘house of many rooms’. Be it nationality, school of thought, methodological approach or stage of career, ECPR makes space for everyone, bringing people together under one roof to nurture and grow an inclusive and diverse international community.

As we stepped our second half-century in 2020, we took the time to reflect on our mission and explore additional ways to:

• help break down barriers
• provide platforms and spaces for discourse
• reach out beyond academe
• shine a light on the work of our discipline

Harbour House provides a literal and metaphorical ‘home’ for the whole ECPR family. In this spirit, we created The House Series, launched in December 2020 to round off our 50th Anniversary celebrations.

With the initial line-up primarily focusing on threats to democracy, this exciting venture continues to open doors to some of the most pressing issues and challenges today, from a broad range of perspectives.
