The Journal of Global Change and Governance Symposium on Conflict, Cooperation and Security in the New Century will be held on Friday, 27 March 2009, from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM at Rutgers University-Newark's Center for Law & Justice, 123 Washington Street, Newark, New Jersey.

The Journal of Global Change and Governance, will convene a symposium in an effort to consider the scope and nature of current prospects and challenges facing the global community in the new century. As such, primary emphasis will be placed on assessing recent developments and identifying the dynamics that underlie the interactions between states and various actors operating within the global system.

During the new century, advances in information and communication technology (ICT) will continue, intensifying the process of globalization while influencing global politics. In the context of the evolving transnational security environment and new global challenges, national governments and institutions of global governance will need to rethink their modus operandi.

Scholars (faculty and graduate students), and professionals from a variety of disciplines, including: anthropology, business, criminal justice, economics, history, law, philosophy, political science, public affairs and administration, and sociology, are invited to submit papers or panel proposals. The best received papers will be published in a special issue of the refereed Journal of Global Change and Governance (http://www.jgcg.org).

The deadline for submitting proposals (a title and short abstract) is Friday 13 February 2009.

Please, send inquiries and materials (e-mail preferred) to: editor@jgcg.org

We look forward to your proposals, and may the best papers be published!
