CALL FOR PAPERS
CIVILIZATIONS AND WORLD ORDERS
International Symposium
MAY 12-14, 2006
Foundation for Sciences and Arts, ISTANBUL
The recent global transformations of, and threats to, the human condition reveal the urgent need to revisit the very concept of ‘world order’. Post-Cold War tensions and anomalies accompanied by the phenomenon of cultural/civilizational resurgence deepened the necessity of critically reflecting on ‘civilizations’ and ‘world orders’. This symposium aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for new approaches to deliberate on, and search for, a just and sustainable global ‘world order’.
