Résumé

Cette conférence (en anglais) vise à confronter les analyses des scientifiques (principalement géographes, politologues et spécialistes de relations internationales) et des organisations internationales sur les processus actuels d'organisation à une échelle régionale et transnationale des dispositifs de gouvernance environnementale.

Annonce

Conference, 16-18 juin 2010, Genève

The objective of the workshop is to look “beyond Copenhagen” and assess the state of the art in regional environmental governance. Although there is a long history of work about regions in different disciplines, a recent review concluded that (a) the nature of “regions” have mostly been assumed rather than explained, (b) the substantive focus has largely been international security and economic integration, and (c) the dearth of comparative work has undermined progress both in theory and practice. The proposed workshop seeks to address these shortcomings through an explicit emphasis on an interdisciplinary dialogue, encompassing comparative perspectives as well as practical value.

Call for Papers

The REGov workshop is designed as an encounter between scholars and practitioners. In addition to six thematic roundtable discussions with invited participants, there will be four open panels with 4-5 presentations. We welcome proposals for the open panels that fit under one or more of the six workshop themes:

  1. What is a region?
  2. Environmental regions in multi-level governance
  3. Regional economic dynamics and the environment
  4. Regional security and the environment
  5. New environmental regionalism
  6. Environmental regionalization, democracy, and civil society

Please indicate the theme(s) your abstract best fits, include up to five keywords, and omit your name and institutional affiliation from the attachment. All abstracts will be evaluated in double-blind peer-review by at least three experts. Notifications will be made on March 1, 2010.
