Committee for the Analysis of Military Operations and Strategy Related Group Call for Papers

Deadline:  January 11, 2008

CAMOS, the Committee for the Analysis of Military Operations and Strategy, invites proposals for papers or call for panel for the 2008 American Political Science Association  Annual Meeting. The convention will meet in Boston, Massachusetts from August 28 until August 31, 2008.

As a cooperating organization with APSA, CAMOS is allotted one panel at the 2009 annual meeting.

Papers and panels that address key issues of strategy and military operations will be considered. Specific topics of interest include:

     • National security and defense policy-making
     • Strategy in the post-Cold War Era
     • Role of the military in post-conflict reconstruction and nation-building 
     • Operations and strategy of preventive war and regime change 
     • Determinants of military success and failure 
     • Sources of military doctrines 
     • The revolution in military affairs 
     • Civil-military relations

Papers and panels that involve cross-case analysis (over time or across countries) and those that move beyond an exclusive focus on US military operations and strategy will be of special interest.

Paper proposals should include the paper titles, a short abstract (500 words max), and contact information for the author(s). Panel proposals should include the same for each paper, along with a title and abstract for the panel as a whole, and contact information for panel chair and discussant, if included.

Please submit proposals by Friday January 11, 2008 to:
