Transatlantic Studies Association: NATO panels, July 2008, Dundee
Call for Papers - Transatlantic Studies Association Conference, Dundee, July 7-10th, 2008
NATO panels
The broad theme of this year’s TSA NATO panels will be “NATO: between old and new responsibilities.” As NATO approaches its 60th anniversary, it faces many ongoing challenges, both old and new. In light of this, we welcome proposals on NATO’s expanding global agenda, including current missions and operations, Afghanistan, global partnerships, energy security, transformation, and future enlargement. We also welcome proposals on more traditional concerns, including NATO’s relations with Russia and the EU, as well as regional perspectives on NATO, to include US, UK and other individual member state perspectives. Some of the papers should be 60-year historical retrospectives, with panellists invited to derive lessons learned, as well as to offer thoughts on NATO’s future.
Some of the papers will be nominated for publication in a special issue of the International Journal: Canadian Institute of International Affairs guest-edited by Dr. Steve Marsh of Cardiff University and Professor Alan Dobson, Dundee University. All such nominations will have to be refereed in the normal way and the selection will have to meet the broad requirements of balance between themes and individual state perspectives. The deadline for consideration of final versions of such articles will be 1 October 2008. The special issue will be published in 2009.
