Call for Papers Workshop "EU POLITICS OF MEMORY", GLOBAL GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME/RSCAS (EUI) and COST Action IS1203
http://globalgovernanceprogramme.eui.eu/news-events/call-for-papers-eu-politics-of-memory/
Proposals for papers should contain a title and a brief summary (up to 300 words). Deadline for submission is 30th November 2014. Applicants should include a brief CV. Papers accepted will be taken into consideration for the publication agenda of the Working Group on Politics of Memory. Proposals should be uploaded at http://www.rscas.org/registration_form/?p=1425
Since its origin, the EU constructed a narrative based on the reconciliation among former enemies. 9th May symbolized the transit from confrontation and the end of WWII to reconciliation and European integration. This narrative went largely unchallenged. In the 1990s, some policies related to the remembrance of Holocaust added a new layer of memory policies. The 2004 enlargement triggered a certain conflict on these common grounds. On the one hand, applicant states had to adapt to existing mainstream EU memory policies as an implicit part of the acquis. On the other hand, politicians and intellectuals in acceding states demanded the development of policies which took into account the specific memories of Central and Eastern European States associated with the experience of totalitarian communist regimes. Claims for recognition of these memories emerged in different European institutional and non-institutional sites and actors used different strategies to further their claims. This workshop wants to explore the different dimensions involved in shaping EU memory policies: the conflicts on diverging and often contested memory facts and their projection to the EU/European level; the role of different group of actors as memory entrepreneurs at the supranational level, their cooperation and competition; the role of EU institutions; the strategies pursued by actors and institutions; the fitting of EU policies with national policies, etc. The workshop invites papers analyzing specific policy issues (denial of crimes, EU memory museum policies, comparing different national cases of actors/strategies in pursuing these European policies, theoretical papers, etc. Single country cases are not preferred although submissions may be considered and decided upon on the basis of their merits.

Call for Papers 4th Joint Conference on Human Rights and Justice 8 – 10 June 2015
http://global-human-rights.org/HRJ.html
This joint conference will ask researchers and policymakers from academia, think tanks, IOs and NGOs to deal with various aspects of justice and human rights. Papers should highlight how and to what extent human rights in all aspects and levels of governance, law and decision making allow or deny access to justice. This may include questions regarding whether and to what extent the international human rights regime can address adequately the challenges of human rights implementation and justice, as well as how regional, national, and local mechanisms may address human rights challenges. Paper and panel proposals that also address the issues such as climate justice, transitional justice or cyber justice as well as access to justice and global distributive justice are welcome. Some of the questions to be addressed at the conference include:
•Are human rights and justice always compatible?
•How do we conceptualize the relationship between human rights and justice?
•What role does global distributive justice play in advancing human rights?
•How do we ensure that domestic justice systems address a wide range of human rights issues?
•Are international justice institutions (e.g. International Criminal Court, European Court of Human Rights, Inter-American Court, African Court on Human and People’s Rights) adequate for addressing human rights issues?
The deadline for submissions is 14 November 2014.
•How have norms regarding justice and human rights evolved?

Call for Papers ¨Europe by Design: Rethinking Projects and Policies¨, Sciences Po, 8 July, 2015 - 10 July, 2015
Application Deadline: 26 September, 2014
Abstract: The European Union is facing one of its most dramatic crisis, investing economic, institutional, and social aspects of its existence. The crisis has highlighted the fragile foundations of EU’s democracy and has challenged its social cohesion, leading to questioning the idea of Europe itself. The difficulty in overcoming the current impasse has emphasized the inconsistency of the European project itself, dramatically bringing to the fore the question of how the EU has been designed. The issue of how strategies, visions and projects of EU integration are defined has become, consequently, crucial. More than the outcome of a precise political design, the EU itself seems rather the product of the action of economic, political and bureaucratic elites, of pressure and interest groups and of opinion movements that, from the 1950s onwards, have pursued their own visions of Europe, leading to complex and often contradictory policies and strategies. This panel/mini symposium sheds light on the ways in which projects concerning Europe have been shaped and how have been implemented from the beginning of the integration process to present day. From a theoretical, social and historical perspective, it considers a variety of actors operating in complex decision making processes; as well as the processes and the architectures affecting the design of the EU.
The purpose of the panel/mini-symposium is to address questions such as:
· How do infrastructural needs affect visions about Europe? · How does the Internet affect EU political projects and strategies? · Governing by Internet architecture: what kind of European policy in the geopolitical arena? · How did the EU’s institutional architecture affect the responses to the crisis? · How does the perception of economic, political and institutional crisis influence the creation of EU strategies? · What has been and what is the role of Eurobureaucracies in defining projects of European integration? · Does evaluation affect the legitimation of EU’s policies and the strengthening of European integration? · How has the role of intellectuals changed, from the early twentieth century to today, in shaping projects of European integration? · How has the role of politicians, business men, engineers, bankers and bureaucrats impacted on European social and political life? · What impact have the old and new media in defining projects about the EU?

Call for Papers Workshop “Political Engagement in the Web.2.0 era. Co-Production in Election Campaigning”, ECPR Joint Sessions 2015, University of Warsaw.
The deadline for submitting paper proposals is 1st December 2014
https://www.ipsa.org/news/call-for-paper/political-engagement-web20-era-co-production-election-campaigning
ABSTRACT
Political engagement is at the center of political science research, especially concentrating on traditional and non-traditional web based forms of political participation. Debates are emerging surrounding new forms of participation offered by new digital wave era technologies, especially through the participatory opportunities offered by new communication platforms (such as social networks and microblogs).
The aim of the workshop is to cover both aspects of political communication: the supply side - offered by political actors and the demand side – how audiences-citizens are interacting, or indeed want to interact with political actors. The workshop will focus on key questions arising from current studies. How do political actors communicate with their supporters and adversaries within the new communication environment created by platforms allowing for wide dissemination of information? Is there an emergence of new participation patterns among citizens or do digital technologies simply reinforce existing practices? Are traditional forms of political engagement challenged by new online participatory behaviors? Have any new forms of political engagement and participation emerged or are they just replicating longstanding paradigms? If new forms of engagement or participation are emerging, how can they be defined and measured, is the division between traditional and non-traditional, offline and online artificially sustained, or do they now overlap? Alternatively, are the new online engagement possibilities attracting different groups of citizens previously excluded?
