(Write On! is an occasional item about notable calls for papers.) Paper proposals are being sought in preparation for what'll be the 2d event of the Four Societies Special Colloquium -- a joint project of the
Australian & New Zealand Society of International Law, the
American Society of International Law, the
Canadian Council on International Law, and the
Japan Society of International Law. The theme is "International Law and Democratic Theory," which, in the view of organizers, encompasses topics such as:
► Role of national legislatures and policy-making in the making and reception of international law
► Governance of international organizations
► Democratic accountability in the development of trade and investment law
► Application of international human rights and humanitarian law in the context of terrorism
► Internationalization of criminal law
Preference'll be given to scholars "in the early stages of their careers ... who have not had opportunities to present at an international conference," as well as "to innovative and cutting edge proposals related to" the overall theme. Accepted papers will be presented at a September 2008 conference at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, and likely published in that school's law review.
Check out details here asap;
deadline's in just a couple weeks: December 14, 2007.
