Call for Papers Theme: The Power and Politics of Transitional Justice Type: 7th International Conference on European Studies (ICES'20) Institution: Center for European Studies, Epoka University Location: Tirana (Albania) Date: 27.–28.4.2020 Deadline: 25.3.2020 __________________________________________________ Epoka University, in Tirana, Albania, organizes the 7th International Conference on European Studies (ICES'20). The conference titled ‘The Power and Politics of Transitional Justice’ will be held on 27-28 April 2020 in Tirana, Albania. Within these 2 decades, transitional justice has become a key pillar on transforming politics, societies and scope of international intervention. As a transitional mechanism, this international norm has covered post-conflict countries, deeply divided societies, post-authoritarian regimes and post-communist countries. Due to the importance in dealing with the past in order to seek truth and justice, transitional justice comes in front of us as an emerging tool to build trusting institutions, embrace the rule of law and approach towards higher levels of democratization. This conference aims to bring together scholars, graduate students and practitioners to provide different perspectives and methodologies on theoretical and empirical models, as well as to enrich the public discourse on transitional justice in international and local levels. Conference topics may include, but are not limited to: - Transitional Justice in Historical Perspective - Nationalism and ethnic - diversity as barriers or promoters of transitional justice. - Transitional justice as an international norm in international law. - Liberalism and post-conflict justice in divided societies. - Law and Justice before and after Communism - The prospects and limitations for a regional Balkan approach in transitional justice. - Is transitional justice a circumstance of justice in a unique context? - Transitional justice and Peacebuilding. - Transitional Justice and Civil Society - Transitional Justice and Development - Political Economy of Transitional Justice - Transitional Justice and Gender Perspectives - Critical Reflections on Transitional Justice With this focus in mind, we warmly welcome paper submissions and presentation proposals from across the world and from a wide spectrum of disciplines and perspectives. We also welcome poster submissions, which will provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work. Participants may present in a maximum of two sessions. Abstracts should be 500 words maximum and sent to c...@epoka.edu.al. Accepted abstracts will be notified via email until March 30, 2020.
