Call for Papers: Iraq since 1990
Peace Research: The Canadian Journal of Peace and Conflict Studies invites submissions for a special issue exploring “Iraq since 1990.” The marking of a so-called fifth anniversary of the Iraq War obscures the fact that since 1990 Iraq has been subjected to and a constant site of violence and war: the Gulf War, a controversial sanctions regime, invasion and occupation, ongoing resistance, internal conflict, the Iraq War. Peace Research invites submissions from disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives that address the case of Iraq since 1990. We are open to a wide variety of perspectives and themes for this issue. How are the various aspects of this conflict connected? What theory can we bring to this study to illuminate its complex nature? Possible themes include: comparative occupation studies, representation of Iraq and war, neo-colonialism and imperialism, dissent and protest movements, responses to militarism, nationalism and war, morality, violence and sanctions, feminist analysis of war, hegemony and power dynamics, foreign policy critique, UN reform and conflict, resource scarcity and current policy, environmental destruction, theoretical perspectives on violence, historical and political context, amd globalization and economic violence. Potential contributors should consider this list as representative, not exhaustive. All submissions will be peer reviewed. Manuscripts must follow the PRJ’s Submission Guidelines (http://www.peaceresearch.ca/submissions.html), and should be sent electronically to the Editors (peaceresearch@uwinnipeg.ca) followed by hard copy. Deadline for submissions: June 15, 2008.
