Call for Papers Theme: Reconceptualising International Intervention Type: Interdisciplinary Conference Institution: Centre for International Intervention, University of Surrey Location: Guildford (United Kingdom) Date: 30.–31.7.2014 Deadline: 31.3.2014 __________________________________________________ In much contemporary discourse, ‘international intervention’ in response to situations of crisis and conflict connotes coercive, military, intervention. But intervention by outside actors, usually from powerful countries in the North, in the affairs of poorer countries in the South has always taken a much broader course. Now, in the 21st century, the context and nature of intervention is changing fundamentally and at speed. Intervention may occur for economic and financial as well as political purposes and appears less as a series of separate episodes and more as a set of continuous processes, involving a wider range of actors impacting on each other in an increasingly interdependent world. Taking an inter-disciplinary approach, this ESRC-funded conference to be held on 30-31 July 2014 at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK, will seek to establish a framework that accounts for the motivations and expectations of interveners and the consequences both intended and unintended of intervention, comparing the perspectives of people ‘on the receiving end’ of international intervention with those of the outsiders who intervene. Proposals are sought, both from academia and from the practitioner community, for papers and posters looking at international intervention with regard to, for example: - economic globalisation - disruptive technological innovation - shifting power relations between North and South - challenges to established models of intervention - new and emerging tools of intervention - new theoretical models of intervention Other angles are also welcome and contributions are sought from a range of disciplines. The conference aims to break new ground and generate a fresh perspective on the topic. Limited funds may be available for post-graduate bursaries. Abstracts (maximum 300 words) are requested by 31 March 2014.
