RC42 - Security, Integration and Unification

The 2021 Virtual World Congress is starting on July 10.

Due to the Covid-crisis and the resulting changes, the number of papers and presenters in RC 42-panels has shrunk, but we still have 5 panels. You can find more information here

Information on how to access should be published soon by IPSA.

In case you have not seen, the 2023 IPSA World Congress is being held in Buenos Aires. I am looking forward to meeting in person again!

During the virtual congress, we will also hold our business meeting to discuss a change in leadership and new directions to explore. More information in an email soon.

The deadline for submissions for panel and paper proposals has been extended to October 24, 2019.

The RC's open panels are

The call for panel proposals for the IPSA World Congress in Lisbon in July 2020 is now open. At this stage, we invite ideas for open panels without confirmed participants. In the second stage, paper proposals can be submitted under these panels by interested individuals. It is also possible to submit proposals for closed panels, which must include a chair, co-chair (optional), 1-2 discussant(s), and 4-6 papers.
As per IPSA rules, all-male panel proposals are not permitted!!!

Thank you all for your submissions to RC42. We received well over 80 proposals, which have now been assigned to panels and are awaiting final approval by the organisers. The paper acceptance notifications will be sent out on 19 Jan 2018
Applications for travel awards can be submitted through the congress website until 6 February 2018.
Please note the other deadlines:
15 MAR 2018 Deadline to register at a reduced Early Bird registration fee
10 APR 2018 Deadline to register to appear in the Printed Program
09 MAY 2018 Final Registration Deadline for all panelists.

Although the last IPSA World Congress was held less than a year ago, the preparations for the next Congress are beginning. You can see the progress at the homepage at http://wc2018.ipsa.org/events/congress/wc2018/home. You can now upload proposals for panels as well as papers, until 10 October 2017. I would like to encourage you to register your proposals under the RC42 heading. The 2018 IPSA World Congress’ theme “Borders and Margins” fits very well with the RC’s specialization.

In a change from the last Congress, panel proposals need to be registered complete with participants. So you cannot just submit proposals for panels, allowing other interested participants to join. If you have ideas or suggestions for panels, but lack further participants, please let me know so I can include your suggestions to further calls for papers.

In line with the RC’s tradition and remit, we welcome papers and panels related to security issues of (formerly) divided countries and societies.

We warmly encourage you to submit panel proposals on other topics with the RC but please also note that proposals covering the broader issues of security in International Relations should be submitted to the Congress General Sessions on International Relations or other RCs.

Some panel proposals that have already been suggested include:

• conflicts between and within divided societies,
• elite integration in post-authoritarian societies,
• memory politics,
• cross-border cooperation on environmental issues.

I am looking forward to receiving many interesting proposals.
