CALL FOR PAPERS
The Department of International Relations at Middle East Technical University (M.E.T.U.) invites you to submit papers for and to participate in the forthcoming
M.E.T.U. Conference on International Relations
The first international M.E.T.U. conference on IR is to be held in Ankara, Turkey between 3-5 July 2002.
General Framework
The fluid nature of the international environment that emerged in the post-Cold War era presented different challenges and opportunities to global, national and local actors. The related transformations have significantly affected Turkey, which is located in the most strategically, economically and culturally volatile part of the world. This Conference aims to debate relevant key issues through an interdisciplinary approach with a particular emphasis on international security, the European Union, the Cyprus issue, energy, and globalization. We hope that the Conference will contribute to establishing contacts among scholars and practitioners from different parts of the world.
Paper/Panel Proposals
All proposals for papers and panels should be submitted before May 1, 2002 to the organizers via e-mail.
A paper proposal should include:
1. the paper/panel title
2. a short abstract (200 words maximum)
3. author/participant name(s) and institutional affiliations
4. author/participant e-mail address(es)
Suggested Themes
All paper proposals are welcome. However, we especially encourage the submission of proposals on international security, the European Union, the Cyprus issue, energy and the various dimensions of globalisation. We also welcome proposals on regions such as Europe, the Balkans, Eurasia and the Middle East. Please follow this link for short descriptions of panels.
