The York Centre for International and Security Studies is accepting
submissions for the 2009-2010 YCISS Working Paper Series. Working Papers
are succinct, informative papers that explore topical themes that reflect
the centre?s research to stimulate feedback from other experts in the
field. The Working Paper Series is anonymously peer-reviewed, and geared
towards facilitating the development of works-in-progress. Accepted
Working Papers are published as hard copies and are publicly available on
the YCISS website.
Eligible papers may be on a diverse range of topics related to new
security environments, contexts, and practices, and / or on issues related
to the politics of security and defence. The Centre is particularly
interested in receiving submissions that deal with issues that have not
traditionally been considered relevant to an understanding of military
security and war - for example, migration and the movement of refugees,
economic change, social disintegration, local political dynamics,
terrorism, crime, and gender. Other key thematic areas include the
deployment of security and defence capabilities in non-traditional roles,
and critical engagements with political, ethical, and social justice
issues related to current Canadian security and defence policies and
practices.
For more information on thematic and topic areas, see the YCISS SDF
mandate at http://www.yorku.ca/yciss/security/mandate.html.
The Working Paper Series provides authors with an opportunity to receive
reviewer feedback and editorial comments on a project, and authors may
subsequently submit published Working Papers to scholarly journals. The
series is an excellent means to put an idea into circulation so as to
generate discussion and feedback from a broad audience.
Submissions to the YCISS Working Paper Series and / or questions regarding
the series should be sent to:
