CFP: Re-engaging the World: The Obama Administration and the Institutions of Global Governance

The Department of Government and Politics at St. John’s University in New York City invites paper proposals for a one-day conference to address the question of whether and how the U.S. is renewing its participation in the institutions of global governance. The conference will be held on St. John’s Manhattan Campus on Murray Street in the New York Financial District. In particular, we seek submissions on six substantial areas of interest:

• U.S. participation in peace and security operations
• U.S. participation in global financial regulation and reform
• U.S. participation in multilateral development assistance
• U.S. participation in international human rights and international law
• The history of U.S. engagement with institutions of global governance
• Critical and theoretical approaches to US engagement with institutions of global governance

We also welcome volunteers for panel moderators and commentators. Please submit paper proposals by Sept. 1, 2010. Submissions or interest in moderating or commenting on a panel should be sent via e-mail to Fred Cocozzelli at cocozzef@stjohns.edu.
