12th Development Dialogue (DD): Rethinking Democracy Call For Papers Events in the recent years, and throughout the globe, are signs of a certain common civil discontent with contemporary forms of government. Massive demonstrations have taken place in the main squares and avenues of several cities, particularly in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America, against authoritarian rule, massive corruption and government’s failure in providing employment and social welfare. The 12th Development Dialogue (DD) invites young scholars, activists and practitioners from all over the world to submit abstracts responding this year conference’s theme: Rethinking Democracy: Challenges for global and local governance. We welcome both quantitative and qualitative based studies from disciplines that are at the core of development studies (i.e. political science, international relations, economics, anthropology, sociology, social-psychology and legal studies), but we give priority to multidisciplinary research. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is May 16th 2014 at 24:00 (Central European Time Zone) and they must be sent via e-mail to [email protected]. Authors of selected papers will receive an acceptance decision by the first week of July. The deadline for submitting completed version of accepted papers is August 30, 2014. Papers should have a maximum of 10,000 words (including references) and should be submitted in PDF or Word format to the above email address. Abstracts of selected papers will be made available on the conference website as soon as possible. Read full @ goo.gl/S01MUB
