State, NGO’s and Production of Security Norms in the South
In December 2004, the PhD program of the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (IEP) and the Institut de Recherche pour le Development (IRD) will jointly host a colloquium under the title “State, NGO's and Production of Security Norms in the South”. The meeting will be held in Paris. The aims are to explore discourses on security as these are formulated by states, multilateral organisations and civil society; to examine the norms and values which inform both the theory and practice of security at the global and at the local levels; to scrutinise the everyday relations of power around the concept of security; and to understand the way in which security is practiced in a world of interdependence. We are calling for proposals for papers that deal with the widening, beyond its traditional military and diplomatic setting, of the idea of security in a globalized world; examine new ways of producing security norms; and help to draw different actors into the world of security in changing political and social conditions.
