Call for Papers Theme: Global Insecurities Subtitle: Insurgency, Development, and World Order 10 Years On Type: Interdisciplinary Conference Institution: School of Politics and International Studies, University of Leeds Location: Leeds (United Kingdom) Date: 5.–6.9.2011 Deadline: 22.6.2011 __________________________________________________ The School of Politics and International Studies, at the University of Leeds, is delighted to invite you to a two day conference in September to explore the nexus between three themes: insurgency; development; and world order in the 21st century. The conference aims to facilitate interaction between scholars from a variety of disciplines in order to question the changing nature of global insecurities. Many scholars of International Politics hold that the response of myriad actors to 9/11 has revolutionised the post Cold War international environment. The 10th anniversary of these events provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon the morphogenesis of world order and the legacy of a changing international environment. To this end we encourage paper and panel proposals from researchers at any stage of their careers. The Keynote Address will be delivered by Mark Duffield, Professor of Development Politics at the University of Bristol and author of: Global Governance and the New Wars: The Merging of Development and Security (2001) and Development, Security and Unending War: Governing the World of Peoples (2007). We also feature contributions from the following: Dr Benjamin Barber (author of Jihad vs McWorld) and Michael Dillon, Distinguished Professor of Politics, Sehir University, Istanbul. John Simpson, CBE, renown journalist and BBC World Editor, will deliver a Key Note address. In addition, we are delighted to be screening 'Ten Years of Terror', part of the Histories of Violence programme, which is dedicated to exploring the theoretical, empirical and aesthetic dimensions to violence. We welcome papers from the disciplines of International Relations, Human Rights, Politics, Security Studies, International Development, Sociology, Law, History, and related fields, with a focus upon interaction within the following themes: World Order * The changing roles of International Organisations * The evolution of UN Peacekeeping and peace enforcement missions * The rise of the BRICs * The role of the UN and EU in security and development governance * IR theory Development * Human Rights as a Tool for Development * Human Rights in the Non-western world * The Security-Development Nexus * The securitisation of Humanitarian Aid and Development * Statebuilding and intervention Insurgency and Security * Democratisation and security * Human Security * Counterinsurgency * Terrorism * Transnational policing * Weapons of Mass Destruction Proposals for papers should be sent by e-mail to, University of Leeds, at <[email protected]> by the deadline using the application form that is available online: http://polis.leeds.ac.uk/blogs/conference2011 We encourage panel submissions of up to four participants.
