Second Annual Graduate Research Conference in International Relations: CALL FOR PAPERS
Location
The Boston University Graduate International Relations Council, in conjunction with the Boston University Department of International Relations, invites graduate students to submit a manuscript for presentation at the Second Annual Graduate Research Conference in International Relations (GRCIR), “Shifting World Order: The Reallocation of Power in the International System,” held Friday and Saturday, February 24-25, 2012, on the campus of Boston University.
The conference seeks to examine the numerous implications of changes in the relative distribution of political and economic strength away from the global North in favor of emerging and developing countries in the global South.
Though the main thrust of the conference will be rooted in the theory and practice of international relations, graduate students from any academic discipline are welcome to apply, in the hope of stimulating lively and informed debate from a variety of perspectives. Students of Government, History, International Relations, Political Science, Regional Studies, Security Studies, and Economics are especially encouraged to apply.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until Tuesday, January 31, 2011. Primary criteria for selection are quality of research, relevance, and originality. All manuscripts must have been written as a graduate student. Abstracts, not final drafts, are required for the application. Full-length papers are to be brought to the conference. Please note that a $25 registration fee will be collected upon arrival to the conference. The application is available online at http://bit.ly/grcir2app. For inquiries, contact the Conference Organizers at bside13
