Belgrade Security Forum 2013 – Call for Papers
Transformation of state and professional practices in international security is the main topic of BSF 2013 academic event.
The organisers of the third Belgrade Security Forum are inviting scholars and researchers to submit their proposal papers for the academic event to be held on 19 September 2013.
Drawing on insights from International Relations, Security Studies and Sociology of Professions, this year’s BSF academic event wishes to raise the following questions:
- What are the consequences of state transformation on professional international security practices such as the military, the police and diplomacy?
- What is the impact of privatization of international security on those professions?
- Is the social standing and autonomy of these professions intact or are they being challenged by the deep transformation of the field of international security?
- How are their professional culture and ethos affected by new technological and political transformations?
Deadline for submissions is 1 May 2013. Submissions should be made electronically to jrs@fpn.bg.ac.rs, and titled “Call for paper proposals for BSF 2013”. All submissions must include the applicant’s CV (two pages at most) attached to his/her paper proposal (up to 400 words). Acepted candidates will be contacted by 20 May.
The organizers will provide financial support for travel and accommodation expenses of selected participants on a need basis that should be explicitly stated in the application. All accepted papers will be presented during the BSF academic event (September 19), and after the conference, all the papers will be peer-reviewed for publication in the Journal of Regional Security. More information can be found in the attached document.
The Belgrade Security Forum is co-organized by Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence and the European Movement in Serbia. It is the biggest international security conference in Southeast Europe which gathers several hundred top level policy and decision makers, NGO leaders, experts, academics and journalists each year.
