CFP: Belgrade Security Forum

The organizers of the Belgrade Security Forum are pleased to invite security scholars and researchers to submit proposal papers for the second Belgrade Security Forum (BSF) to be held on September 20-22, 2012. The Forum is the biggest international security conference in Southeast Europe each year gathering several hundred top level policy and decision makers, NGO leaders, experts, academics and journalists. The overarching topic of this year's Forum will be Coping with the Crisis: Challenges for Security and Democracy. The Belgrade Security Forum is a unified event divided into two portions: an academic event on the first day, and a policy portion encompassing the next two days. The subtopic of the academic event will be “Security Community Building: Bridging the Theory/Policy Divide”. All accepted papers will be presented during the academic portion (September 20) of the Forum. The aim of the academic event is to feed scholarly insights into the policy portion (September 21-22) of the Belgrade Security Forum.  The deadline for submissions is 15 April 2012.
