Call for papers on global crisis
UN Research Institute for Social Development calls for papers for its international conference on Social and Political Dimensions of the Global Crisis: Implications for Developing Countries. The deadline for submitting abstracts is June 15, 2009.
Much of the commentary on the global financial and economic crisis has focused on the advanced capitalist economies, although there is now increasing recognition that developing countries are severely affected by the crisis.
On 12–13 November 2009, the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) will host an international conference in Geneva to better understand the social and political dimensions of the current crisis and subsequent policy and institutional reforms, and their implications for developing countries.
It invites researchers to submit abstracts on the following themes:
- The social and political origins of the financial crisis;
- Enhancing social protection, redistribution and care through social policies; and
- The politics of institutional and transformative change.
Participation guidelines:
- An extended abstract of 500–1,000 words, outlining the main issues;
- Hypotheses and structure of the paper;
- CV;
- Copy of any previous publication on this or a related subject;
- Full contact details.
Deadline:
June 15, 2009.
Please send abstracts to Rebecca Buchholz (email: buchholz@unrisd.org)
