Call for Papers

A recent crisis of confidence has unsettled paradigms for economic, social and political governance: political identities, social allegiances, parameters of markets, cultural truisms, and religious truths are all in flux. Europe has long served as a model for the rest of the world - whether as object of admiration, forced exemplar, foil, or cautionary tale - and the present vacuum of certainty presents yet another moment of opportunity for scholars of "the old world." Are European experiments in economic coordination the solution to the excesses of unregulated capitalism -- is this the moment for the revenge of the
European model?

For the 2010 conference, the Council for European Studies (CES) welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and individual papers on the study of Europe broadly defined. This year, for the first time, we are also entertaining the submission of panel clusters around a theme, giving participants the opportunity to create a mini-symposium within the conference (please no more than 5 panels per theme). Each panel proposal will be reviewed individually by the Program Committee, and each panel belonging to a cluster will be acknowledged as such in the conference program.

We encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines; in particular, we welcome panels that combine disciplines, nationalities, and generations. The Committee will accept only two submissions per person.

The Council for European Studies fosters and recognizes outstanding, multidisciplinary research in European studies through a range of programs, including conferences, publications, special events, and awards. The Council´s international conferences bring together scholars from a multitude of countries and a variety of fields for discussion and interdisciplinary exchange.

More information on the conference will be available in upcoming issues of the CES newsletter. You may subscribe to the newsletter here: www.ces.columbia.edu/members/indiv_members.html

Participants were notified of the Committee's decision in late December.

Papers must be submitted by March 31 using AllAcademic at the following URL: http://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ces/ces10/.

To upload their paper, attendees will need to log into AllAcademic and click the link that says "view submissions/upload final draft." The attendee will see his or her submissions and a link that says "upload final draft" to the right in the action column. The next screen will show an upload option with some instructions.

A couple things to remember: There is only one upload per paper. Attendees can upload as much as they wish, it will just safe over the document that is currently in the system. Also, only the submitter has the power to upload. That is, the person who originally submitted the proposal into the system. Co-authors do not have the ability.

Scholars who are Spanish citizens whose work focuses on Europe are invited to apply for travel grants to attend the 17th CES Conference. The grants are generously offered by the Spanish "Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas."

CES has partnered with IASGP for the 2010 Conference.

Created in 2007 as the result of a merger between the Association for the Study of German Politics and the US German Politics Association, the IASGP brings together leading international scholars of German politics, society, law and political economy. This unique academic study group, which is open to academic staff and advanced graduate students, fosters active research collaboration and exchange, hosts specialist workshops and conferences at regular intervals as well as promoting a major stream of panels at international conferences.

Since its launch in 1992, German Politics has established itself as the leading international journal in its field. Its mission is to provide theoretically informed perspectives on the changing agendas of German Politics. It engages with themes that connect Germany comparatively with other states - the challenges of globalisation, changes in international relations, and the widening and deepening of the European Union. It also links work on Germany to wider debates and issues in comparative politics, public policy, political behaviour, and political theory.
