[ecrea] Journal of Critical Globalisation Studies: Inaugural Edition Call For Papers

> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> Power and Identity in a Global Networked Society
>
>
>
> A ONE DAY WORKSHOP MARKING THE INAUGURATION OF THE NEW E-JOURNAL: 
> <http://www.criticalglobalisation.com/>JOURNAL OF CRITICAL 
> GLOBALISATION STUDIES
>
> 3rd, September 2009
>
> At
>
> Royal Holloway, University of London
> In Conjunction with the annual conference of the Global Studies 
> Association- Challenging globalization: new perspectives, 
> alternative visions, emerging agendas
>
> Is it necessary to move beyond discrete categorisations to a more 
> fluid understanding of global processes, which involve multiple 
> actors from the micro to the macro level? Or should we not be too 
> quick to ignore established power structures and their implications 
> for global political, economic and social processes? In terms of the 
> new networks of global society, we want to explore what their aims 
> are, who are involved, what is their influence, are they democratic 
> and who is excluded?
>
>
> The workshop will mark the inauguration of a new fully peer reviewed 
> e-journal: The Journal of Critical Globalisation Studies 
> (<http://www.criticalglobalisation.com/>www.criticalglobalisation.com) 
> to be published twice yearly. The Journal of Critical Globalisation 
> Studies seeks to be the first to bring theoretical and critical 
> reflection to bear on dominant (mainstream) debates within the study 
> of globalization. Contributors of the best and most appropriate 
> papers submitted will be invited to upgrade their workshop paper to 
> a full academic article for submission to the journal, or format it 
> for the 'Polemics' (short essays) section of the journal. Journal 
> submissions will go through a further blind peer-review process and 
> will have to be submitted by July 1st, 2009.
>
>
>
> We therefore invite 300 word paper abstracts, relating to the themes 
> listed below, from postgraduate researchers and academics. The 
> papers will be presented in distinct panels corresponding to the 
> following two overarching themes:
>
>
>
> Resistance to globalisation: In what ways new global networks both 
> resist and promote globalisation? Is globalisation being resisted, 
> or rather re-negotiated, or are 'resistances' in fact accelerating 
> globalisation?
>
> Collapsing borders? This panel will focus upon the concept of 
> borders and their changing nature within a contemporary 'global' 
> setting.  It will also consider the implications of media, 
> communications, civil society and networks across the main themes of 
> the workshop.
>
>
>
> Deadline for abstracts: 10th June, 2009
>
> Please send a paper title, abstract (of no more than 300 words), and 
> your institutional affiliation to 
> <mailto:(abstracts /at/ criticalglobalisation.com)>(abstracts /at/ criticalglobalisation.com). 
> Some limited funds will be available to cover paper givers' 
> expenses. For any further information, please contact Yajai Bunnag, 
> Nathan Coombs, Anthony Cooper, Christopher Perkins or Pepijn van
