Crisis and Contingency:
States of (In)stability
Amsterdam, The
Netherlands • June 25-27, 2013
Organized by the
Council for European Studies
Call for Proposals
The current economic crisis of debt, the euro and
unemployment takes place in a framework of highly dynamic creative and
destructive processes occurring at various levels: globalization, heightened
nationalisms, continued migration, shifting cultures, rising inequality,
concerns over security, climate change, sustainable development, etc.
All of these transform definitions of Europe: of its
geographical boundaries; of what institutions are needed to structure and
resolve issues of policy and democracy; and of how Europe can and might
interact with other parts of the world, from North America to revolutionary
North Africa to the new powerhouses in Asia and Latin America. The
intellectual challenge of grappling with these changes in our world provides the
foundations for an exciting meeting, held in one of the founding capitals of a
global Europe.
The Council for European Studies (CES) invites proposals for
panels, roundtables, book discussions and individual papers on the study of
Europe broadly defined. We encourage proposals in the widest range of
disciplines, and particularly welcome panels that combine disciplines,
nationalities, and generations. Participants are permitted to present in
a maximum of two sessions.
We strongly encourage participants to submit their proposals
as part of an organized panel. Full panel proposals will be given top priority
in the selection process by the Program Committee. Participants may find
it useful to connect with like-minded scholars through the growing number of
CES research networks, linked on the "Research" page of the CES
website.
Proposals may be submitted from August 15 to October 8, 2012.
Participants will be notified of the Committee's decisions by December
10, 2012. Information on how to submit a proposal will be posted on the
CES website and disseminated through its newsletter during the summer of 2012.
