Call for Papers

Works-in-Progress Workshop

ASIL International Organizations Interest Group

The International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society of International Law will hold a works-in-progress workshop on Friday, October 28, 2011, at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts (just outside of Boston).

If you are interested in presenting a paper at the workshop, please submit an abstract to Jacob Cogan (jacob.cogan[at]uc.edu), Lorena Perez (LPerez[at]oas.org), and Justin Jacinto (jjacinto[at]curtis.com) by the end of the day on August 26. Abstracts should be a couple of paragraphs long but not more than one page. Papers should relate to the subject “international organizations.” One of the workshop’s sessions, comprising two to three papers, will be set aside for graduate students and young, non-academic professionals.

Papers selected for presentation are due no later than October 17, as they will be pre-circulated. Papers should not yet be in print; ideally, 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 a 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 is conducted on the assumption that everyone has read all of the papers in advance. After we have selected papers, we will ask for volunteers to serve as commentators. One need not present a paper or comment on a paper to participate. Registration for the workshop will open in September.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions about the workshop or paper submissions.
