CFP: Human Security and Security Strategy

The organizers invite participation in the Jean Monnet International Conference on Human Security and Security Strategy: Institutions and Policies in a European Perspective, to be held 26-29 May 2011 in Kiev, Ukraine. We invite proposals for papers that will conduct a thorough analysis of EU security strategy and policy and/or of that of its member states. We specifically seek single or comparative case studies that examine the process of formulating security strategies and their implementation, the interaction between respective processes at national and EU levels, and the results of security policy implementation in discreet cases. Proposals for conceptual papers in any of these areas are also welcome. Interested scholars should submit an abstract of no more than 500 words, as well as full contact information and details of their current institutional affiliation and status. Please see the conference website for more information. The organisers particularly encourage early-career researchers and advanced PhD students to apply. The deadline for submission is January 15, 2011.
