Disruptors and Small States Workshop: Call for Papers
Call For Papers
Disruptors take a wide range of forms and have a spectrum of impacts on States including Small States. We take an open view of disruptors as referring to anything that is causing significant change from health crises including COVID-19 to environmental disasters and the ongoing impacts of Climate Change to Artificial Intelligence and big-tech.
This workshop, which will kick off this year's annual Small States Conference aims to provide a space for discussion on recent and ongoing research dealing with the various facets of disruptors and responses thereto in Small States. Some of the questions it seeks to address include:
What are the disruptors that are having the most profound impacts on small States?
How are the impacts of such disruptors different in small States than they are in larger States?
- How do the various disruptors interact with each other?
- What measures are States taking to address these disruptors?
- What role can the law play in supporting responses to these disruptors?
- What lessons can be learnt on responding to these disruptors?
Does your research touch on these issues? Do you have an idea you would like to discuss with colleagues? Then this workshop is for you. The workshop is designed to provide an informal space for conversation across emerging research and to support the development of a research community.
Participation from early career researchers and researchers from Small States is particularly encouraged. The workshop will take place in London and online on November 13th, 2024. Workshop participants are invited to attend the Small States conference scheduled for November 14th, also in London.
If you are interested in participating, please submit your abstract of no longer than 300 words; a short bio (no more than 100 words) as soon as possible and by no later than Thursday 31st October to j.gauci@biicl.org. In your submission please indicate whether you intend to participate in the workshop in person or remotely.
