New Directions in Peace and Conflict Research: Non-violent
Strategies for Confronting Global Terrorism and for Promoting
Peaceful Social Change
A CPS research conference, University of Tromsø, 7th-9th
September 2005
Conference theme
The nature and political potential of non-violence continues to be
a central concern of Peace Studies in general and of the Centre for
Peace Studies (University of Tromsø) in particular. This
conference aims to explore the possibilities of non-violence in the
context of two key contemporary themes of global conflict:
terrorism and its variety of responses, and social resistance and
political activism.
Conference goals
The principal aims of the conference are to illuminate the research
dimensions of these specific themes and more generally to examine
the character and purpose of Peace Studies both as a
multidisciplinary discipline and as a catalyst for non-violent
social change. While the geographical setting of the conference is
the relatively peaceful far north of Europe, since our focus is
global as well as regional, we invite contributions from people
living in other, more conflicted, areas as well.
Both practically orientated and more theoretical reflections on the
conference themes are invited, and should take the form, in the
first instance, of paper proposals or abstracts sent to the
conference organizer. We especially welcome submissions that
address the research dimensions of peace studies.
Submission information
Please e-mail abstracts of proposed papers to linsan@sv.uit.no by
May 30th 2005. Abstracts should be between 250-500 words with
double spaced pages. A committee of three peace researchers will
evaluate them. All accepted presentations will be published in a
conference working paper. The final decision on participation will
be announced on June 23rd 2005. The conference fee is 1200, - NOK
for scientists and 600, - for students. This will entitle the
participants admission to all presentations, workshops and social
arrangements, and to receive a copy of the conference programme.
