Call for Papers "Citizenship in Wartime" International Workshop Institute for Advanced Studies, Tel Aviv University Tel Aviv (Israel) 27-31 December 2007 __________________________________________________ The workshop will explore the theoretical and practical implications of war and terror situations for the institution of citizenship in democratic states. Citizenship, as a concept and an institution, is a keystone of Western democratic society, in war and peace. But in wartimes, including low-intensity wars, democratic societies face different challenges than the ones facing them during peace, in areas such as human rights, the status of minorities, immigration, the state's obligations to its citizens, and the meaning of social solidarity. Scholars in the fields of philosophy, political science, sociology, history, law, labor studies and related disciplines, who are interested in the workshop, should email a 250-word abstract of a research paper to Prof. Noah Lewin-Epstein by May 15, 2007. Travel funds may be available.
