CFP: CISS/UNU-CRIS Joint Conference 2013

The program chair invites paper and panel proposals for the CISS/UNU-CRIS Joint Conference to be held in Bruges, Belgium from June 19 - 21, 2013. Proposals are invited on the conference theme "Cooperation, Integration, and Alliances: Regional and Global Perspectives, Challenges and Solutions." The interconnected world of the twenty first century is uniquely situated to explore integrative and cooperative policies and institutional structures to meet the variety of challenges that confront the international community. These issues span a wide range of economic, political, social and cultural dimensions. This conference proposes to engage in a discourse that analyses the magnitude of these challenges and suggest creative integrative responses. A cross professional and cross disciplinary approach will greatly enhance our understanding of global challenges and lead to effective solutions. Paper, panel, and roundtable proposals to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue are invited from scholars, policy makers, and interested professionals. Proposals are being accepted via the MyISA system and should be received by December 31, 2012. Please see the conference website for more information.
