Call for Papers "World Governance: Do We Need It, Is It Possible, What Could It (All) Mean?" 10th International Conference Internatinal Law and Ethics Conference Series (ILECS) Serbian Philosophical Society University of Belgrade Belgrade (Serbia) 27-29 June 2008 __________________________________________________ In the age of globalization, and increased interdependence in the world that we face today, there is a question we have to raise: Do we need and could we attain a world government, capable of insuring the peace and facilitating worldwide well-being in a just and efficient way. We think this is the right point in time to explore this issue in more precise terms from the philosophical point of view, and attempt to understand its moral, legal, political, historical and other aspects. The International Law and Ethics Conference Series (ILECS), now in its 10th year, was envisaged as an opportunity for leading American and Western European scholars (initially philosophers and now these are increasingly multidisciplinary gatherings) to meet with their Eastern European counterparts and discuss issues of global importance. This on-going project has been designed as a pair of annual conferences held at Belgrade University in June with follow-ups (usually) in October in the US. From 2004, ILECS was organized biannually. As before, we plan to publish a volume based on the conference.
