Conference: Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law Fifth Annual Conference

The Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law will hold its fifth annual conference on April 8-9, 2016. The theme is "Public and Private Power." The program is here. Registration is now open. Here's the idea:
This conference will explore how the landscape of public and private power is changing, where new and important networks and partnerships between public and private power are emerging and where public power is co-opting or commissioning private power in larger projects. This interconnectivity can be seen at all levels, challenges traditional divisions between public and private, and raises new problems for regulation.

Call for Papers: Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law Fifth Annual Conference

The Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law has issued a call for papers for its fifth annual conference, which will take place April 8-9, 2016, at the University of Cambridge. The theme is "Public and Private Power." Here's the call:

Call for Papers

Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law

5th Annual Conference - "Public and Private Power"

University of Cambridge, 8-9 April 2016

The editors of the Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law (CJICL) welcome submissions for the CJICL 5th Annual Conference to be held at the University of Cambridge on 8-9 April 2016. Accepted papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Cambridge Journal of International and Comparative Law. Abstracts should be submitted on the basis that the subsequent paper will be available for publication if selected.

The theme for the CJICL 5th Annual Conference is “Public and Private Power”. We are interested in doctrinal, theoretical, institutional and comparative perspectives from international, European and comparative law on the regulation of public and private power.

We are interested in exploring how the landscape of public and private power is changing, where new and important networks and partnerships between public and private power are emerging and where public power is co-opting or commissioning private power in larger projects. This interconnectivity can be seen at all levels, challenges traditional divisions between public and private, and raises new problems for regulation.

How is public and private power understood at the international, European and national levels? How should public and private power be allocated between and within the international, European and national levels? What new controls are necessary or desirable for existing or emerging areas of public and private power? What is distinctive about public and private power? How important is the distinction between public and private power? Is the distinction sustainable in different areas of regulation? How is the relationship between public and private power changing?

We are particularly interested in international, comparative and EU perspectives on the following topics:

  • the distinctiveness of public or private power;
  • the changing structure of the public-private divide;
  • the value of distinguishing between public and private power;
  • the allocation of public and private power; and
  • the control of public and private power.

Submissions

Applications should be submitted to conference@cjicl.org.uk by 10 January 2016. Applications should include a proposed abstract of not more than 300 words and a CV and applicants should expect to hear from the convenors by the end of January.

General registration for the conference will open in February 2015 on our website. Numbers are limited and early registration is highly recommended. Attendees are responsible for their own travel expenses and accommodation and should seek funding from their home institution or other bodies. The convenors can arrange a limited amount of accommodation at Emmanuel College at the attendee’s expense. The conference fee will be confirmed in January and there will be a limited number of fee waivers or reductions at the discretion of the convenors in cases of financial hardship. The conference is aimed at both academic and professional attendees and will be CPD accredited.
