LOCATION:Rome\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:<p>Contemporary global politics is increasingly marked by conflicts. One thinks&nbsp\;of conflicts over institutions and authorities\, resources and citizenship\,&nbsp\;military force and climate change\, religion and ideology. Yet prevailing&nbsp\;cosmopolitan theories of global politics tend to abstract from conflict\,&nbsp\;through idealizing presuppositions about rights and authority\, rationality&nbsp\;and society. This conference therefore proposes to consider the constructive&nbsp\;roles that concepts of conflict might play in theorizing global politics. It&nbsp\;will focus particularly on how cosmopolitan theories might be enriched and&nbsp\;reformulated by such concepts\, and thus better respond to the challenges of&nbsp\;contemporary global conflicts.<br><br>The conference will consider the significance of conflict for such themes as:<br><br>Cosmopolitan democracy\, deliberation\, rationality<br>Global justice\, human rights\, liberalism<br>&lsquo\;Kantian&rsquo\; universalism\, pluralism<br>Concepts of conflict\, agonism<br>Political anthropology\, human development<br>Religion\, (post-)secularism<br>War\, peace-building\, humanitarian intervention<br>Environmental change<br><br>Submission guidelines<br><br>A paper suitable for presentation in 20 minutes and a 500-word abstract\,&nbsp\;both prepared for blind review\, should be sent by May 1\, 2013\, to&nbsp\;cosmopolitanism@johncabot.edu</a>.<br><br>Submissions are welcome from graduate students as well as from more&nbsp\;established scholars.
