Hi All, Apologies for a repeat posting but apparently the PDF attachment didn’t come through on the GEP emails so I’ve included all the relevant information below instead.
Rosaleen Duffy and I are organising a panel for the IPSA World Congress of Political Science in Brisbane next year, 21-25 July 2018. Please do think about joining us, and do send this on to other interested parties: Call for Papers Panel: Political Ecology of Environmental Struggles at ‘the Margins’ Organisers: Professor Rosaleen Duffy (University of Sheffield) and Dr Adam Simpson (University of South Australia) International Political Studies Association 25th World Congress of Political Science, 21-25 July 2018 Brisbane https://wc2018.ipsa.org/events/congress/wc2018/home Please send abstracts of 350 words to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> and [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Deadline: 22 September 2017 This panel will apply a political ecology approach to the 25th World Congress theme of ‘borders and margins’. Critical analyses of the dynamics of global environmental change are an ideal way of exploring these themes, precisely because environmental change crosses territorial borders, and moves between marine, terrestrial, riverine and atmospheric boundaries. Further, political ecology helps us interrogate the very idea of margins, because it is in many ways a discipline that emerged from the margins (both intellectually and geographically). Struggles around environmental change are also often found at the global margins, centring on peoples excluded or dispossessed by initiatives, projects and interventions initiated by more powerful and dominant actors in the global system. We seek papers that shed light on the distinctive approach of political ecology in understanding these struggles over environmental change and access to, or the distribution of, environmental resources. We welcome papers that address contestations around extractive industries, climate mitigation schemes, such as REDD+, tourism developments, biodiversity conservation, and large scale infrastructural developments (ports, roads, rail-links, dams, pipelines and airports). We encourage papers that employ empirical case study data to develop novel, or advance existing, political ecology theoretical approaches. Comparative country studies are particularly welcome. Best, Adam. ----------- Dr Adam Simpson Director, Centre for Peace and Security, Hawke Research Institute Senior Lecturer, School of Communication, International Studies and Languages, IPC: MAG-03 University of South Australia GPO Box 2471 Adelaide SA AUSTRALIA 5001 http://people.unisa.edu.au/adam.simpson https://unisa-au.academia.edu/AdamSimpson NEW in 2017 Energy, Governance and Security in Thailand and Myanmar<http://www.niaspress.dk/books/energy-governance-and-security-thailand-and-myanmar-burma>, Updated Paperback Edition with NIAS Press Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Myanmar<https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Handbook-of-Contemporary-Myanmar/Simpson-Farrelly-Holliday/p/book/9781138820777>, edited by Adam Simpson, Nicholas Farrelly and Ian Holliday -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
