FROM THE EDITORS

We are pleased to announce that Noam Chomsky will be our plenary speaker at the 2002 APSA meeting in Boston. His talk will take place on Saturday, August 31^st at 8:00 pm. The Plenary is being co-sponsored by two other sections, Transformational and Ecological Politics and Human Rights. Please read John Berg's Chair Column on the next page for more information about the plenary.

Let me urge you once again, to subscribe to our journal and, even more importantly, get your library to do so. The revenues we receive from Taylor and Francis for operating expenses associated with the journal are partially contingent on subscriptions. A few extra subscriptions, which push us over their baseline number, means a difference of a couple of thousand dollars to our operating budget.

Our journal also continues to need more manuscript reviewers (contact George Katsiaficas, editor) and individuals willing to write book reviews (contact John Berg, reviews editor). George also encourages people to submit proposals for special theme issues or the journals and/or books for our Routledge book series.

I continue to encourage you to submit "blurbs" about your books as well as information about upcoming conferences and events, calls for papers, professional journal information, and activism to:

From the Chair

By John C. Berg, Suffolk University

We're looking for people who like to edit!

George Katsiaficas has worked long and hard as editor of the Caucus journal, New Political Science. During his term of office George brought NPS from a journal which appeared occasionally to a regularly published quarterly; established our ongoing relationship with our present publisher, Taylor & Francis; launched the NPS book series; and published many important issues. He deserves much praise and thanks from all of us.

Under our term limits policy, it is now time to choose a new editor. To this end, I have appointed a nominating committee, with the mandate to recruit and screen applicants and make a report to the NPS Executive Committee at its next meeting this August. The Executive Committee will make an appointment; the new editor will then work with George for a year as responsibility shifts gradually from the old to the new editor.

The editor's job is difficult, but rewarding. It includes soliciting manuscripts, finding referees, working with authors to improve their articles and follow the referees' suggestions, and preparing the final electronic files to be sent to the publisher. All that can be written briefly, but doing it is another story! But the job has many rewards as well, not least the opportunity to take part in the continuing intellectual and professional growth of New Political Science.

If you would like to apply for the job as editor, or to nominate someone else for the job, please communicate with the chair of the nominating committee: Meredith Reid Sarkees, (773) 325-4755, email: msarkees@depaul.edu.

Meanwhile, the work of the journal goes on. I would like to urge all members to submit articles. Ironically, we seem to be getting more submissions from people who are not members of the Caucus than from those who are.

Noam Chomsly to speak at APSA

Program Chair John Martin has done a terrific job of putting together the Caucus panels for the APSA meeting in Boston this year (August 29-September 1). His job has not been easy, as the APSA has cut our panel allotment rather drastically, and he has had to make hard decisions and to turn down many good proposals; but the quality of the panels we have is outstanding.

One highlight of the meeting will be the Caucus plenary, at 8 PM on Saturday, August 31. The plenary speaker will be Noam Chomsky, who really does need no further introduction to Caucus members. This year's plenary will be co-sponsored by two other sections, Transformational and Ecological Politics, and Human Rights. To recognize this new cooperation, and to give as many people as possible a chance to meet Chomsky, we have changed the schedule of the popular annual New Political Science reception; it will now be held at 10 PM Saturday, immediately aRer the plenary. As usual, there will be light snacks and complimentary wine and soR drinks. The reception will also be co-sponsored by Transformational and Ecological Politics and by Human Rights (and by anyone else willing to kick in some cash!)

The late-night Saturday reception will replace the ad hoc dinner organized after the plenary in recent years. Attendance at the dinner has been low recently, and it is my hope that the reception in a room near the plenary will attract a larger proportion of the plenary audience.

I look forward to welcoming all of you to Boston this August!

APSA Short Course

The Caucus will sponsor a short course the Wednesday afternoon before this year's APSA meeting. Short courses count as part of the APSA program, but do not count against our allotment of panel slots -- so they are a great opportunity for us to increase participation.

The theme of the short course will be how to combine political activism with research and teaching. There is room for 8 presenters in two panels (one on activism as a research method, one on integrating activism with teaching). We have just started on this; so far there are two confirmed participants, Christine Kelly and Steve Fisher.

A lot of political scientists, in and out of the perestroika movement, especially graduate students and younger faculty, have been feeling stifled and discontented because of the prevailing dogma in the discipline that you have to stifle any critical perspective and devote yourself to rational choice if you want to have any hope of an academic career. This short course is designed to appeal and be helpful to this large group.

Activism, Research, and Teaching:

Living a Meaningful Life in the Academy

Many of us went into political science because of our commitment to using politics to make the world better. Can such a commitment survive in the academic world? Some have found a way and will share their knowledge with short course participants.

Fellow Caucus members-

I would like to invite all of you to participate in the conference described below on "Justice and Globalisation," to be held at the University of Ottawa, June 13-15, 2002.

The conference is being organized by Research Committee (RC) 49, "Socialism, Capitalism, and Democracy," of the International Political Science Association (IPSA). RC 49 is the IPSA equivalent of the Caucus-a group of progressive-minded political scientists who are striving to counteract the dominance of conservative, pro-capitalist globalization thinking in IPSA. We meet once a year; every third year our meeting is part of the much larger IPSA World Congress (the next of which will be in Durban, South Africa, in June 29-July 4, 2003.

The Ottawa meeting is free-standing, and will be small and congenial. I urge everyone who can to submit a paper, and to attend the conference. Paper proposals should be submitted to the local organizer, Koula Mellos; her address is in the call for paper, below.

Thanks, and I hope to see you in Ottawa!

Yours,

John Berg

Making Social Movements: The British Marxist Historians and the study of Social Movements June 26-28, 2002, Edge Hill College of Higher Education, England

Conference Sponsors

Conference Themes How might the extraordinary body of historical writing produced by the British Marxist historians - Edward Thompson, Christopher Hill, Rodney Hilton, Eric Hobsbawm, Victor Kiernan, DonaTorr, John Saville, Dorothy Thompson, George Rude and others - enable scholars and activists to better understand the making of social movements? This is a timely moment to examine their legacy. Many social movement scholars are

pushing beyond the static models drawn from rational-choice theory and the crude and reductive newmovement / old movement dichotomies developed by European social theory. What can social movement scholars and activists learn from a critical engagement with the historiography of movement and protest in the writings of the British Marxist historians? And from the theoretical and conceptual innovations developed through their history writing? What might be learnt from the sensibility and style of the British Marxist historians, from their committed social and political relation to their subject, to their writing of history from the bottom up? And what can social movement studies - now in an exciting period of sustained growth, connected to the rebirth of popular protest, and a locus for fruitful academic-activist dialogue - bring to this exchange?

We invite proposals for papers, which explore any aspect of the legacy of the British Marxist historians for the study of popular protest and social movements. Themes include:

Theorising social movements

Class, gender, race and social movement

The cultural and moral mediation of protest and movement

Agency and the individual-in-the-movement

Ideology, discourse and the study of social movements

The People and protest

Protest as ethic

The leadership of social movements

Revolutions and social movements

The primitive rebel

Using sources to study social movements

Literature and the study of protest

Marxism and the British Marxist Historians

Peace Review

FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION

Special Editors: Andrew Rigby, Coventry University

Carol Rank, Coventry University

Author Deadline: April 30, 2002

Reconciliation refers to the restoration of fractured relationships. At the core of reconciliation as a process is the preparedness to consider future co-existance by those that have been divided by the pains of the past. But how do people come to terms with past traumas? How can the wounds caused by division and destructive conflict be healed? Is some form of forgiveness a necessary prerequisite for reconciliation?

This issue of Peace Review invites contributions form people interested in exploring the problematic relationship between forgiveness and reconciliation. Issues to be addressed might include: How do we understand forgiveness? How do we recognize it? Can we measure it? What is the significance of forgiveness in different faith traditions and communities? Can one teach forgiveness? Are there gendered views on forgiveness and reconciliation? Exploration of the tension between forgiveness and justice as prerequisites for reconciliation. Is there a relationship between interpersonal acts of forgiveness and societal programs of collective/national reconciliation, and if not, should there be? How might programs of national reconciliation be deepened to embrace the grassroots level? Can reconciliation and forgiveness be responses to acts of repression and terrorism? Are there training programs that can feed into broader reconciliation processes? Are there lessons to be learned from victim-offender restorative justice programs that can inform approaches to restoring relationships in other spheres of life?

Peace Review is a quarterly, multidisciplinary, trananational journal of research and analysis, focusing on the current issues and controversies that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. We define peace research to include human rights, development, ecology, culture, race, gender and related issues. Our task is to present the results of this research and thinking in short (2500-3500 words), accessible and substantive essays.

Second International Conference on Human Rights

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Mofid University 17 - 18 May 2003, Qom - IRAN

With the Cooperation of the United Nations in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the International Center for Dialogue among Civilizations

Human rights, despite over a half century of international efforts in norm-setting, institution-building and implementation mechanism provision, remain faced with serious challenges among which are the theoretical ones relating to ontological and epistemological problems and the relationship, manners of interaction and the extent of compatibility of human rights with influential social institutions such as religion, morals, culture and civilization.

Continuing from and building on the achievements of the first International Conference on Human Rights and Dialogue of Civilizations, held in May 2001, Mofid University is planning to hold the second conference of a series decided to occur every two years. The second International Conference on Human Rights has the specific title of "Theoretical Foundations of Human Rights."

The Conference, to be held in May 2003, is intended to be a serious effort to provide an opportunity for various intellectual trends to discuss certain fundamental theoretical issues of human rights. Therefore, scholars and researchers from all countries are cordially invited to write papers on one of the following topics. It is also left to the authors to write on sub-topics of their choice.

Topics of the Conference:

1. Philosophy of Human Rights

2. Human Rights and Religion

3. Human Rights: Universality v. Cultural Diversity

--Authors should send a 500-word abstract (in English, Persian, or Arabic ) as e-mail attachment by 31 March 2002.

--All abstracts must be submitted as Word documents and must contain the title, author's name, postal address, telephone number and e-mail address. They must also contain the schematic plan of the final paper, together with its main assumptions and conclusions.

--The papers must be submitted to the Secretariat of the Conference by 20 September 2002.

--The authors of the selected papers will be hosted by Mofid University during the days of the Conference.

--The Conference will be held at Mofid University (Qom - IRAN), on 17-18 May, 2003.

***Bertell Ollman. How To Take an Exam...And Remake the World. Black Rose Books. 2001. $19.99 ISBN 1-55164-170-4

TO THE RADICAL TEACHER IN YOU

Are you ready for a bitingly humorous but still authoritative critique of capitalism combined with a survival manual for students? Or how about an unusually helpful "How To" book (with lots of attitude) on exams, whose negative role in society is also clearly / set out? Or... just the simplest Introduction to Marxism around? Presented through stories, jokes, poems, games, cartoons (40), myths, personal anecdotes, songs, statistics, pop quizzes, little known quotes, a few facts, some analysis and a dash of theory, HOW TO TAKE AN EXAM...AND REMAKE THE WORLD (Black Rose Books, Montreal, 2001), by Bertell Ollman, is all that.

Perfect for introducing your students to capitalism (and Marxism) in all - and I do mean all - courses.
