REFUGEE LAW IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION EMERGING ISSUES FOR THE TEACHING OF REFUGEE LAW

A Conference Hosted by The Refugee Law Reader

Call for Papers

A two-day seminar on Refugee Law in the Era of Globalization will be held in Brussels on November 12-14, 2008. Globalization has introduced a wide of range of transformations that have profoundly shaped contemporary refugee law and policy. We are seeking proposals for papers that explore some of the emerging legal issues that arise from one or several aspects of changes brought about by globalization. The analysis may be national, regional, or international in focus. The conference will be hosted by The Refugee Law Reader (www.refugeelawreader.org), an on-line living 'case-book' that is published by the Hungarian Helsinki Committee and aims to meet the changing needs of scholars and teachers working in the rapidly evolving field of refugee law.

Proposals of between 200-400 words should be submitted by July 7, 2008 to reader@larc.info. Full funding for travel expenses, accommodation and conference registration is available for academics from EU Member States whose papers are accepted and who are either teaching or researching in the field of refugee law. Papers are also welcome from those coming from beyond the EU. For accepted papers from these scholars, the conference registration is free, but travel, accommodation and meal costs have to be covered by the participant.
