CFP Promoting Human Rights, Building Peace, and Progressing Democracy (USA)

ConferencesCall for papers: Conference in Conjunction with 25th Anniversary of NATO Intervention in Kosovo: Promoting Human Rights, Building Peace, and Progressing Democracy, 26-28 March, 2024, Clinton Presidential Center, Little Rock, AK, USA. Deadline: 31 December 2023.

This conference will bring together practitioners, policy makers, and scholars to reflect on the lessons of the humanitarian intervention in Kosovo and the developments in the last 25 years that offer both challenges and opportunities for democracy, peace, and security not only in Southeastern Europe, but around the globe. Organizers envision conversations and activities that are above all practical in nature, in which practitioners, policy makers, and democracy scholars present, discuss and debate bold actions for promoting human rights, building peace, and progressing democracy globally based on lessons from taking just and necessary stands, such as the one taken in Kosovo, against genocide and the violation of human rights.

They specifically encourage proposals from those who work at the intersection of theory and practice in a variety of areas including but not limited to:

  • Political Theory & Practice
  • Political & Public Communication
  • Media Studies
  • International Relations
  • Public Policy Analysis
  • Conflict & Public Dispute Resolution
  • Peacemaking & Peacebuilding
  • Security Studies
  • Deliberative Democracy Practice
  • Collaborative Governance
  • Community Engagement

In keeping with the commitment to action from President Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Presidential Library, and the Clinton School of Public Service, the focus of the conference would be the on-going real-world work of people who have made a commitment to ensure safe places to learn, practice, and exercise democratic actions continue to not only exist but to strive and grow.
