CFP: International Law and Global Justice, Oxford, 20-21 May, 2009
On the 20th and 21st of May 2009, The Global Justice Network, with the
support of the Centre for the Study of Social Justice and the Centre for
International Studies at the University of Oxford, will host a two-day
interdisciplinary workshop on 'International Law and Global Justice'.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Debates on international law and on global justice have for the most part
proceeded separately. Only very few theorists have suggested that the
project of designing principles of international/global justice is closely
related to that of designing principles of international law. Taking the
lead from this often underappreciated suggestion, in this workshop we aim to
explore the connections between international law and global justice. In
particular, we welcome papers - both legal and philosophical - discussing
the following topics:
*The relation between coercion, law and (global) justice*
An increasing number of political theorists have argued that obligations of
justice only apply within political communities by virtue of the existence
of a coercive legal system. What are the implications of this view for the
question of global justice? Can we plausibly claim that international law is
coercive in the same way in which domestic law is? If not, does this mean
that principles of justice should not apply to it?
*The effectiveness of international law as a means to realising global
justice*
If international law is one of the most powerful instruments at our disposal
to bring about a morally better world, what sort of reforms of the current
international legal system would be necessary to move closer to the goal of
global justice? Given the sui generis nature of the international legal
system, how can such reforms be most fruitfully brought about?
*Global justice, international law and state sovereignty*
Is the principle of the sovereign equality of states itself a principle of
international/global justice or a hindrance to the quest for global justice?
Would a world inhabited by states which are genuinely - as opposed to merely
formally - equally sovereign be a just world? Or does the realisation of a
just world require us to transcend the very idea of state sovereignty,
moving from a system of international law to a global legal system?
Confirmed keynote speakers
Prof. Allen Buchanan (Duke University)
Prof. Terry Nardin (University of Singapore)
Submission instructions
If you wish to present a paper, please email a 600 word proposal and a short
biographical note to the workshop convenors at
globaljustice@politics.ox.ac.uk by February 29th 2009.

INSTABILITY AND UNCERTAINTY?
INTERNATIONAL LAW IN A MULTIPOLAR WORLD
Call for Papers
Since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, international law has sought to configure itself as a universal system. And yet, despite the best efforts of international institutions, scholars and others to exert the universal application of international law, its relevance and applicability has been influenced, if not directed, by political power. The Cold War saw a concentration on co-existence in a bi-polar world, which many have argued brought stability to the international legal system. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 provided the opportunity for a truly universal system - a 'new world order', applicable regardless of power arrangements. Instead, it quickly became apparent that international law would have to address the dilemmas inherent in regulating a system dominated by a single global power.
Over the past decade, discourse has tended to focus on the implications for international law of a unipolar world, characterised by US hegemony. It would seem, however, that the international system may now be experiencing a tendency towards multipolarity, with various sites of power able to exert a telling influence on international relations and international law. Recent events such as Russia's excursion into Georgia, the breakdown of the Doha round of trade negotiations, the USA's questionable actions in the war on terror, the prominence of emerging nuclear powers, China's assertions of its own interests on a global scale, and the rise of regional trading blocs, all pose significant questions for international law and the international legal order. Can 'universal' international law exist in the absence of a global hegemon? To what extent can sovereign equality persist in a world of competing 'great powers' and 'spheres of influence'? What relevance will the United Nations retain? Is there an 'international community' and, if so, does it exist on a multilateral or a regional level?
The 2009 ILA (British Branch) Spring Conference will seek to address these, and other, questions that a multipolar world poses for international law.
Proposals are sought for papers on topics of interest within the conference theme. All international lawyers - practitioners, academics and doctoral students - regardless of seniority, institutional affiliation, gender or nationality, are invited to submit proposals. Abstracts of no more than 500 words should be submitted by Monday 15 December 2008. Submissions should include the author's name and contact details (including email address), and be accompanied by a brief curriculum vitae.
Applications should be sent, preferably by email to M.Happold@hull.ac.uk, or by post to Dr Matthew Happold, Law School, University of Hull, Hull HU6 7RX. The results of the selection process will be notified to applicants in January 2009.

The Politics of Radical Democracy
'The Politics of Radical Democracy', edited by Adrian Little and Moya Lloyd.
This book addresses the idea of radical democracy and, in particular, its poststructuralist articulation. It analyses the approach to radical democracy taken by a number of contemporary theorists and political commentators, including Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, Judith Butler, William Connolly, Jacques Rancière, Claude Lefort, Sheldon Wolin, Michael Hardt, and Antonio Negri, and Giorgio Agamben. By examining critically the accounts of democracy advanced by these theorists, this volume explores how a more radically conceived theory of democracy might be extended in a more egalitarian and inclusive direction.

CfP - Militarism: Political Economy, Security, Theory
Call for Papers: "Militarism: Political economy, security, theory."
Conference at the Department of International Relations, University of Sussex; 14-15 May 2009.
Militarism and militarisation - the social processes associated with the production and valorisation of organised violence - have long been central issues on the International Relations agenda. Cold War concerns over arms races, military expenditure, vast numbers of people under arms, arms sales to the Third World, and militaristic attitudes and practices that promote organised violence, were all topics hotly debated in the literature. With the end of the Cold War, the dissolution of the USSR, a drop in military budgets, and the rise of discourses around human rights and humanitarian intervention, concerns around militarisation were relegated to the sidelines. The militarised US-led response to 9/11, characterised by the war in Iraq and rising military budgets around the world but especially in the USA, has signalled a return to centre stage of military force as an arbiter of international relations and prompted a resurgence in the literature on militarism and militarisation.
Associated with the broadening of the IR agenda in the post-Cold War era, there is growing recognition that militarism and militarisation cannot only be thought of in terms of the traditional distinction between internal and external security. They have spread into the internal realm through the intensification of surveillance, the creation of new bodies of control, and the reform of the legal and institutional context through which states administer their internal security affairs. Feminist scholars are examining masculinities and the role of gender relations in promoting militaristic attitudes, policies and practices, and the racialised nature of coercion and control is increasingly being recognised. Cold War concerns over the militarisation of civil institutions such as the university, fields such as space, and various geographical regions, have returned, albeit in a seemingly radically new context. Along the way, the literature from the 1980s seems to have been sidelined, cast aside as out of date, given its backdrop of superpower competition and a bipolar world.
The Centre for Global Political Economy (CGPE) in the Department of International Relations at the University of Sussex aims to bring together scholars, practitioners and activists working on militarism and militarisation from a diverse range of theoretical approaches in a two-day conference. The guiding ethos of the conference asks what the current state of play is in the literature on militarism, what we can learn from old debates and what newer debates can contribute; how the phenomenon of militarism can be theoretically, empirically and practically located at the crossroads between international political economy, security studies and international relations; and how academics, practitioners and activists can learn from each other.
We welcome papers on themes including, but not limited to:
* old and new theories of militarisation and militarism;
* discourses and ideologies of militarisation;
* class, arms production and the military-industrial complex;
* gender dynamics and the (re)production of militarism;
* the racialised nature and effects of militarism;
* North-South relations, domination and resistance in processes of militarisation;
* the militarisation of internal security practices;
* regional, inter- and transnational institutions, agents, policies and mechanisms of militarisation;
* the international relations of militarism;
* the relationship between academic and practitioner research on militarism.
The organisers welcome the submission of proposals for both panels and papers. Please send a short abstract to Dr. Anna Stavrianakis and Dr. Iraklis Oikonomou at militarismconference@gmail.com by 23rd January 2009.
A provisional conference programme will be announced on 1st March 2009.
Papers should be sent by 30th April 2009.

PhD studentships for leverhulme-funded project on 'The Liberal Way of War', University of Reading
Reading University Leverhulme Programme on The Liberal Way of War
Nine Studentships
Applications are invited for nine three-year studentships (to cover Home/EU fees and full maintenance) to study for a PhD in Politics, Law, History, or Languages and European Studies' as part of the University of Reading's Leverhulme-funded Programme to investigate The Liberal Way of War: strategy, ideology, representations (http://www.reading.ac.uk/spirs/research/spirs-leverhulme.asp).
Successful candidates will be Associates of the Programme, will play a part in all of its events, and may contribute to its publications.
The Programme will study the ways in which liberal states have reconciled themselves to fighting wars. Such states can only sustain the will to fight if they can represent what they are doing as being consistent with their liberal values. One well-established way of doing this is to treat the zone of conflict as a kind of privileged space in which the usual rules do not apply. But technological developments (instantaneous communication) and ideological shifts (the spread of belief in a global rights-based order) are making it hard to preserve the old distinction between the zone of conflict and the home society.
Additional problems are caused by situations in which there is (or seems to be) an enemy within to be resisted.
The Programme brings together military strategists, political and cultural historians, political scientists and theorists, and international lawyers to look at various aspects of this development. Enquiries are welcome from students in any discipline who wish to join the team or to work alongside it under the supervision of one of its members. Possible topics might include historical/cultural case studies of episodes of conflict (and subsequent peace-building efforts) from 1920 to the present day, studies of military strategy and tactics (including counter-intelligence and surveillance), international relations theory (with special reference to the 'liberal peace'), doctrinal or historical accounts of human rights law, and projects in relevant fields of political theory. For further information and application forms, please email e.j.joyce@rdg.ac.uk, briefly stating your likely area of study. The closing date, which will be strictly enforced, is 28 January 2009.

Global Discourse: Call for Papers and Reviews
Global Discourse: A Developmental Journal of Research in Politics and International Relations
global-discourse.com
About the Title
Global Discourse is an international collaboration between postgraduate students and young academics seeking to develop a well-read, high-quality journal publishing work on all areas of politics and international relations.
With an international network of editors, referees, and contributors in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the US, West Indies and Continental Europe, Global Discourse is a conglomeration of individuals, schools and postgraduate journals seeking to develop a forum for the expression and development of distinctive research projects - particularly those which transcend disciplinary boundaries. The journal accepts high quality submissions from any theoretical and methodological perspective and encourages debate between paradigms and schemas.
Aims
Global Discourse aims to draw individuals, schools, organisations, and existing politics and international relations postgraduate journals, into an overarching collaborative forum which re-engages discourse between author and reader. As a fully peer-reviewed, online journal, Global Discourse seeks to provide a critical, developmental forum for postgraduates and young academics.
The journal aims to review its own content by publishing 1-2,000 word formal reviews and replies to each published article as well as encouraging less formal dialogue through moderated discussion boards.
By enabling authors to retain copyright and to withdraw contributions following a full four month period of issue, the journal aims to encourage the development of papers for submission to more established publications. Nothing is lost, but much can be gained, by submitting work for publication in Global Discourse.
The journal also aims to develop a more dynamic book review section, with intensive discussion of a single text by several reviewers published alongside replies from the author/s.
Call for Papers
Global Discourse accepts high quality submissions from any theoretical and methodological perspective and encourages debate between paradigms and schemas. As such, we encourage contributions from such disciplines as anthropology, cultural studies, economics, education, geography, history, law, media studies, philosophy, psychology, social policy and sociology.
Global Discourse accepts a wide range of contributions, from short research notes of 2-4,000 words to full-length articles of up to 9,000 words including all notes and references.
Please submit papers for review to Martyn Griffin (M.A.Griffin@newcastle.ac.uk) or Elliott Johnson (E.A.Johson@ncl.ac.uk).
Full information for authors can be found at:
http://global-discourse.com/information-for-authors-and-contributors/
The First Issue
For the first issue, we have a full statement of intent by Martin Weber, University of Queensland, and an article on power within court societies by Jeremy Paterson, Senior Lecturer in Ancient History at Newcastle University.
We have a book review symposium on Difference and Givenness: Deleuze's Transcendental Empiricism and the Ontology of Immanence, with replies from the author, Levi R.Byrant, Professor of Philosophy at Collin College, Texas.
Future reviews include Disrespect: The Normative Foundations of Critical Theory by Axel Honneth and Chasing Dragons: Security, Identity, and Illicit Drugs in Canada by Kyle Grayson.
