OXPO Doctoral Seminar in International Relations, 2012

The 2012 OXPO Doctoral Seminar in International Relations will be held on 17th May in Oxford. It will invite ten PhD students from the University of Oxford, from Sciences Po and from GIGA to present papers on BRIC-related topics, under the broad heading of "Around and Beyond the BRICS". Proposed topics should address one or several of the following issues: interpretations of sovereignty, representativeness within international organizations, financial and monetary regulation, trade liberalization, internationalization of social welfare, international security, or global environmental governance. The aim is to select and discuss in detail ten doctoral student papers that present both original empirical work an address theoretical or conceptual issues involved in the analysis of the BRICS, of emerging powers, or the idea of a challenge to a western-dominated international order. Case studies can either cover one or a combination of countries.

Proposals of up to 250 words should be submitted by 15th March 2012 to Professors Andrew Hurrell  (andrew.hurrell@politics.ox.ac.uk), Zaki Laidi (zaki.laidi@sciences-po.fr), Karoline Postel-Vinay (karoline.postelvinay@sciences-po.fr).
