The Center for Intercultural Dialogue publishes a series of short briefs describing Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue. Different people, working in different countries and disciplines, use different vocabulary to describe their interests, yet these terms overlap. Our goal is to provide some of the assumptions and history attached to each concept for those unfamiliar with it. As there are other concepts you would like to see included, send an email to the series editor, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. If there are concepts you would like to prepare, provide a brief explanation of why you think the concept is central to the study of intercultural dialogue, and why you are the obvious person to write up that concept.

CFP Governance of Cultural Diversity (Italy but Online)

ConferencesCFP Theories and Practices of Governance of Cultural Diversity Workshop, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy, September 28, 2021 (held online). Deadline: September 4, 2021.

Over the past decades, the traditional distinction between national and international spheres has experienced great pressure as conventional state-centric practices and state-sponsored international governance have been challenged or replaced by new forms of governance. The rise of diverse non-state actors and institutional arrangements has profoundly changed the dynamics and outcomes of global politics. This Workshop Series aims to foster debate on a range of topics related to different transnational policy arenas (such as economy, international mobility, security, sustainability) as well as issues cutting across several policy domains (including questions around the legitimacy, accountability and effectiveness of transnational actors and structures). This event will bring together PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and senior scholars from different strands of research, to discuss key analytical issues and empirical research in progress on multi-level global and regional politics of today.
