International Conference on Comparative Politics and Historical Analysis (ICCPHA-2026)
**International Conference on Comparative Politics and Historical Analysis (ICCPHA-2026)** is a professional academic conference taking place September 26–27, 2026, in Fes, Morocco. Participants present and discuss research on comparative political systems and historical analysis, engaging with scholarly work across these disciplines through paper presentations and academic dialogue.
Why it matters
For students and delegates interested in politics, history, or interdisciplinary research, this conference sits at the intersection of two important ways of understanding institutions, societies, and political change. It offers a clear thematic focus for anyone looking to engage with questions that connect present-day political systems to historical context.
Because the event is in person, attendees can also benefit from direct academic and professional exchange in a conference setting. For those exploring research pathways or sharpening their analytical perspective, the themes alone make it a relevant event to watch.
How to prepare
A strong preparation approach would be to review foundational concepts in **comparative politics**—such as regimes, institutions, political behavior, and state development—alongside methods used in **historical analysis**. Delegates should be ready to think comparatively across countries and time periods, and to connect historical evidence to political interpretation.
It may also help to prepare a few case studies that show how historical context shapes political outcomes. Even without listed committees, attendees can benefit from arriving with concise talking points, research questions, and examples from regions or periods they know well.
