Call for Papers: Cyber
Monday, May 23rd, 2016
In anticipation of its upcoming issue, the Journal of International Affairs is sponsoring a call for papers on the intersection between cyber technology and foreign policy.
The Journal of International Affairs is a leading peer-reviewed journal published by the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. The issue will focus on how cyber technology is transforming international relations and how models of governance and law continue to adapt to the growing role of cyber technology in global political, economic, and security spheres.
In particular, this issue aims to explore the potential for cyber technology to:
- Increase government transparency and freedom of information
- Encourage and/or hinder economic and political liberalization
- Advance and/or threaten national security
- Undermine the authority of states and empower new international actors
- Strengthen global civil society and social networks
- Transform normative values (privacy rights and intellectual property rights)
- Alter traditional forms of state military power and warfare
- Promote interdependence between the state and private sector
The review committee welcomes all papers related to these topics.
Submissions are invited from academics and practitioners in international relations, political science, history, and related fields. Accepted papers will be peer reviewed, edited, and published in the Fall/Winter 2016 issue.
Submission Guidelines
Articles are accepted on a rolling basis through August 1, 2016.
