| KCIS 2011 Conference:"The Changing Arctic: Sovereignty, Resources and Security" 13-15 June 2011 Return to top. From:KCIS kcis@queensu.ca Subject: KCIS 2011 Conference: "The Changing Arctic: Sovereignty, Resources and Security" 13-15 June 2011 For most of their history, the states of northern Eurasia and North America have directed their foreign policies anywhere but northward. In the early twenty-first century, however, the emergent forces of globalization and climate change have turned a vast, inhospitable region from a neglected back yard to an international arena where the evident benefits of cooperation must compete in the minds of governments with traditional tendencies toward rivalry and the consequent risk of intensified conflict. Rapid physical changes in the region have opened up the prospects of new shipping routes, access to mineral resources and fisheries, opportunities for scientific research, and the accompanying risks to a fragile environment, to aboriginal ways of life, and to national and international security. Four expert panels will address the following themes: � Conflict and Cooperation: The Geo-politics of the Arctic � Sovereignty: Borders and Security � The Rush for Resources: Costs and Benefits � Stepping into the Future REGISTRATION Registration is now open. Early bird registration is $300.00(+tax) until 20 May 2011, and $350.00(+tax) after. Registration covers the Meet and Greet reception Monday evening, all meals, conference sessions, and the conference dinner - a cruise of the 1000 Islands and Kingston's magnificent waterfront on Tuesday evening. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable. Registration with payment must be made using our online system.

| Canadian Defence Academy Symposium on Military Scholarship Return to top. From: Lawrence McDonough mcdonough-l@rmc.ca Subject: CDA Symposium on Military Scholarship Dear Colleagues, I am writing to inform you of a Canadian Defence Academy sponsored Symposium on Military Scholarship and Professional Education to be held on 6-7 June, 2011 in downtown Ottawa. The Call for Papers gives more detail. You are being contacted because you have a direct interest in both Military Scholarship and Defence Education and the linkages both weak and strong that connect the two. We hope that you will have time to participate actively by presenting a paper or discussing a paper. You may also wish to participate from the floor through questions, challenges and conversation. We hope that you will extend this call for papers to potentially interested colleagues both locally and internationally. All information can be found at the following sites: http://www.cda.forces.gc.ca/new-nou/reg-eng.asp http://www.cda.forces.gc.ca/new-nou/symposium-eng.asp Sincerely, Professor Lawrence McDonough Royal Military College of Canada |
| International Policy Summer Institute Return to top. From: James Goldgeier jim.goldgeier@gmail.com Subject: New International Policy Summer Institute Dear Colleagues, As a Principal of the Bridging the Gap Project, I am pleased to announce the inaugural International Policy Summer Institute (IPSI), to be held June 13-17, 2011, in Washington DC. IPSI is a weeklong professional development program for professors (all ranks) and post-docs in the fields of international relations and comparative politics who seek to build the tools and networks to produce and disseminate policy-relevant academic research. The Institute will deliver an intensive curriculum designed to teach participants how to develop and articulate their research for a policy audience, what policy-makers are looking for when they look to IR scholarship, whom to target when sharing research, and which tools and avenues of dissemination are appropriate. IPSI will also provide a forum for scholars to develop professional networks with their colleagues in the discipline and with the broader policy community. More information, about both the International Policy Summer Institute and the Bridging the Gap Project (funded by the Carnegie Corporation and coordinated by UC Berkeley, Duke University, and the George Washington University), can be found at: http://www.gwu.edu/~btg/ Warm regards, Jim |
