Call for Papers: International Institutions: Law and Governance

The International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society of International Law has issued a call for papers for a works-in-progress workshop, to take place February 7-8, 2014, at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. The theme is "International Institutions: Law and Governance." Here's the call:

The International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society of International Law will hold a works-in-progress workshop on Friday, February 7th and Saturday, February 8th, 2014, at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

If you are interested in presenting a paper at the workshop, please submit an abstract to David Gartner (David.Gartner@asu.edu), Justin Jacinto (jjacinto@curtis.com), and Julian Arato (arato.julian@gmail.com) by the end of the day on December 2. Abstracts should be a couple of paragraphs long but not more than one page. Papers should relate to the topic of international institutions and governance.

Papers selected for presentation are due no later than January 24th, as they will be pre-circulated. Papers should not yet be in print so that authors will have time to make revisions based on the comments from the workshop.

The workshop's format will be as follows. Each paper will be introduced by the commentator, after which the author will have the opportunity to respond if he or she wishes. The floor will then be opened up for discussion. The workshop will be conducted on the assumption that everyone has read all of the papers in advance. One need not present a paper or comment on a paper to participate. Registration for the workshop will open in January.
