[ecrea] Call for Authors for The CQ Press Publication The Encyclopedia of Democracy and Democratization

CALL FOR AUTHORS: The CQ Press Encyclopedia of Democracy and Democratization

We are inviting academic editorial contributors to The CQ Press 
Encyclopedia of Democracy and Democratization, a new 6-volume reference 
to be published in 2016. In 1995, CQ Press published Seymour Martin 
Lipset’s Encyclopedia of Democracy, which became an instant classic. In 
the two decades since its publication, much has happened throughout the 
world including many more democratization cases and experiments emerging 
in Africa, Central and South Asia, and during the recent civil protests 
and regime changes in the Middle East. Moreover, the then-nascent 
democracies explored in Lipset’s volumes have undergone 15 to 20 years 
of change and development with some burgeoning democracies proving 
successful and some not. The CQ Press Encyclopedia of Democracy and 
Democratization includes approximately 850 articles organized A-Z across 
the volumes in the following categories:

Cultural Sociology of Democracy (free press, free arts, voting rights)
Democracy and Development (economics, social democracy)
Democratization
Governing
Historical Groups and Issues
International Relations and War
National Profiles of Democracy by Country (status of democracy today, 
history of democratic development)
Nationalism and the Nation-State
Philosophies and Theories
Political Participation
Religions and Religious Movements
Rights and Freedoms
Social Issues
Types of Democracy
Underlying Aspects of Democracy

Each 1,000 to 5,000-word article will include the name and affiliation 
of the contributor in the byline of the entry. The General Editor, who 
will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Marc Morjé 
Howard, Georgetown University.

We are currently making assignments with a deadline for submissions of 
December 15, 2014.
If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it 
can be a notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your 
publishing credits. CQ Press, a division of SAGE Publications, offers an 
honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a 
free set of the printed product for contributions totaling 10,000 words 
or more.

The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step 
we will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can 
select topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, 
Style and Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article 
specifications.

Please contact me if you would like to contribute to building a truly 
outstanding reference with The CQ Press Encyclopedia of Democracy and 
Democratization. Please also provide your CV or a brief summary of your 
academic/publishing credentials in related disciplines.

Thanks very much.
