Scope and objective
The Portucalense Legal Institute is pleased to announce a call for papers for a workshop dedicated to early career researchers and PhD candidates to present their innovative research, engage with peers and established academics, and foster collaborative networks. This workshop aims to explore and challenge the traditional narratives in contemporary political and legal sciences from non-Western, decolonial perspectives. In alignment with the IJP mission, the proposal invites multidisciplinary research to implement a network of scholars that amplifies voices from the Global South as a geopolitical and metaphorical location and from multiple, diverse sites, fostering an inclusive dialogue that acknowledges and incorporates diverse perspectives in global governance.
Themes and Topics
We invite papers that address a wide range of topics related to political, legal sciences and international relations, with a focus on decolonial and non-western perspectives. Suggested themes include, but are not limited to, global discourses of politics, global south perspectives on international relations, security and development, conflict resolution and peacebuilding, environmental justice and sustainable development, decolonization and international law, human rights in non-western contexts, migration and refugees.
