Conference Announcement "Global Security Challenges: When New and Old Issues Intersect" ISAC/ISSS 2007 Conference International Security and Arms Control Section (ISAC) of American Political Science Association International Security Studies Section (ISSS) of International Studies Association McGill-University Montreal, QC (Canada) 19-20 October 2007 __________________________________________________ In the post-Cold War era, considerable scholarly attention has been devoted to non-traditional security challenges such as pandemic diseases, environmental degradation, population growth, ethnic and religious conflicts, gender violence, transnational terrorism, and refugees. These threats often ignore borders, and so the intensification of globalization gives them new import. In the post-September 11th international system, there is a growing realization that new and old security challenges intersect and affect each other. The 2007 ISAC/ISSS conference seeks to address the dynamics resulting from the meeting of new and old security challenges. Panels and paper proposals are invited on a variety of themes relating to both traditional and non-traditional security challenges and their possible solutions.
