Call for Papers "Social Justice in a Changing World" Interdisciplinary Conference Graduate School of Social Sciences at the University of Bremen (GSSS) Bremen (Germany) March 10-12th, 2005
A growing number of experts in economics, political science and sociology believe that the freedom of action of the nation-state in coping with issues of distributive justice is waning. Current processes of economic privatisation and globalization shift power over distribution from the state toward 'capital' and markets. What are the implications for social justice? The conference will explore the risks and options of privatized markets and transnational regimes for social justice from different theoretical and empirical perspectives. Plenary speakers: Karen Cook; Nancy Fraser; Bo Rothstei; Joel Rogers; Leo Montada; Michael Zürn. Panels: - Education and Social Justice - 'Just' Health Care - Migration and Social Justice - Gender and Justice - 'Just' Work and Participation - Paternalism and Social Justice - Income, Wealth and Social Justice - Justice and the Global Economic Order - Social Justice and the Right to Welfare - Intergenerational Justice in the Welfare State - Justice and Global Social Policy - Social Justice: What the People Think - 'Just' Borders: Freedom of Movement, Migration and Security - Justice and Taxation - The Changing Role of the Welfare State The abstract deadline is November 30th, 2004.
