XXXI Indian Social Science Congress Multidisciplinary Thematic
Research Committee on `Conflicts, War, Peace and Social Security in
Globalised World'.
Invitation for submission of papers
Background The XXXI Indian Social Science Congress is taking place
under the aegis of the Indian Academy of Social Sciences, in Mumbai
during 27-31 December hosted by the SNDT University and the Ambedkar
Institute of Social and Economic Change. The Mumbai University is the
co-host. It would expectedly have a large gathering of the academic, and
activists including highly eminent ones from the country and abroad. The
major objectives of the ISSC are to discover, develop and disseminate a
new scientific knowledge relevant to creating a new democratic global
society free from hunger, poverty, literacy, unemployment and violence
of any sort and where all men, women and children, without any
discrimination, would be able to enjoy quality life and live in
tranquillity and harmony with Nature and Society. Accordingly,
intra-inter-and-multidisciplinary appraisals and interactive dialogues
among the scientists of all branches of science is the central feature
of Indian Social Science Congress. The Multidisciplinary Thematic
Research Committee on `Conflicts, War, Peace and Social Security in
Globalised World' (hereafter, Multidisciplinary Peace Committee, or MPC)
is one of the 34 multi-disciplinary committees constituted to facilitate
this process of dialogue and appraisals.
The MPC has great pleasure in inviting both academics and activists to
submit significant findings of original research work for presentation
under any of the following sub-themes during the Congress.
I. Threats to Global Peace and Strategies to Counter:
This would include, inter alia, the role of the US imperialism in
today's world with specific reference to its ongoing project for
unilateral global domination by specifically foregrounding its awesome
military might including its nuclear arsenal to make up for the
inadequacies of and supplement its otherwise huge economic prowess and
political/diplomatic clout. And also the various strand of popular
resistances including in West Asia, Latin America and anti-nuke peace
movements. This could also include any other relevant topics. II.
Dimensions of South Asian Regional Conflicts and the Roads Ahead: This
would include, inter alia, the role of India, in particular, in
relationship with its neighbouring smaller states and popular
aspirations and endeavours for a peaceful and equitable South Asia. The
Indo-Pakistan conflicts, arms race and resultant nuclear threats, the
Kashmir issue should constitute some of the major focal points. This
could also include any other relevant topics. III.
Social and Political Conflicts in India and Popular Resistances: This
would include ethnic, linguistic, religious, caste, gender, class and
any such other conflicts and related struggles for a more just and
democratic order in India.
The work will be considered for presentation in both Oral and Poster
