5. Call for papers and panels for section S13 – Islam in International Affairs: Theories and Practices of Diplomacy (Regular Sections, the full list of sections is available here) at the forthcoming 17th Pan-European Conference on International Relations (#EISAPEC24) to be held on 27-31 August 2024 at the Lille Catholic University, France.
The section presents Islamic contributions to international affairs and the field of International Relations. It seeks to explore theoretical approaches and empirical experiences of the Islamic civilisation by referring to classical and modern sources, the worldview of prominent thinkers, statecraft experiences, current transnational movements, and case studies on the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) phenomenon concerning Diplomacy.
The section analyses both theoretical approaches of Islam in International Relations and concrete historical experience of diplomacy in Islam: theories, empirical cases in different periods, and early Islam and the practice of diplomacy, among others. It considers a picture of current and historical Islamic contributions to IR fashioned under the themes highlighted below:
– Theoretical Approaches of Diplomacy in Islam
– Worldviews of Muslim Thinkers and Practitioners vis-á-vis Diplomacy
– Diplomacy and Islamic Polity/Governance
– Diplomacy of Transnational and Political Islamist Movements
– The Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) Phenomenon and Diplomacy
The objective is to develop and sustain a body of knowledge that addresses the theories and practices of the Islamic civilisation and Muslim societies concerning international affairs and the discipline of International Relations. This section aims to set a model for the inclusion of Muslim contributions to the field of IR to enrich, diversify, and strengthen it. To this end, the section aims to publish the papers in an edited volume with a major international publisher.
Abstracts must be submitted electronically via the online submission system. Please read the Submission Details and Guidelines before submitting your proposal, and visit the official EISA PEC 2024 website and the Co-IRIS Facebook page for further updates.
The deadline for abstract submissions is 13 March 2024.
