Event Description: |
2009 represents a crucial year which is testing our ability to deal with
substantial political and economic challenges. Bringing a continuation of
the economic crisis, the deepening of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a
new American administration, and a severe energy crisis for several of the
EU members, this period is proves to be a problematic reality check for
our policies and theories. Reality proves to be one more time ahead of
scholars' conceptualizations, politicians' capabilities, and
policy-makers' solutions. With the many challenges ahead, we hope to
generate interdisciplinary academic debates that tackle relevant topics in
their fields of research. At the same time, we hope to connect different
perspectives and approaches in order to produce high standard academic
works.
We encourage graduate students and young faculty to contribute with papers
and panel proposals on multiple topics. Details available at
www.ceu.hu/polscijournal. The working language of the conference is
English.
Financial support: There is no registration fee for qualified
participants. Food and accommodation are provided by the organizers.
Applicants can apply for a partial travel grant for the cheapest means of
transportation. Those intending to apply for a travel grant should write a
short letter of justification (up to 300 words).
We particularly welcome panels proposed by scholars coming from different
institutions. A panel can be proposed using the special panel form and
should be accompanied by the titles and abstracts (maximum 300 words) of
five papers included in the panel.
