18. International Security

Elizabeth Kier, University of Washington, ekier@u.washington.edu

This division invites paper, panel, and roundtable proposals on international security, broadly defined. Consistent with this year’s convention theme, this division especially welcomes submissions that address the implications of global inequalities, the influence of identities and categories on international security, and the opportunities for building stable and just societies in the wake of violent conflict. Scholars are also encouraged to submit proposals on traditional security issues such as the causes of war, civil military relations, and deterrence theory. Also welcomed are submissions on some of the newer debates such as humanitarian intervention and military effectiveness, and on emerging topics such as counterinsurgency, war crimes, and post conflict stabilization. Interdisciplinary work will be especially welcome.
