4) Members and Friends:
ISA is pleased to offer each ISA caucus two sponsored panels at next summer's Peace Science Society-ISA joint conference to be held in Budapest, Hungary on June 27-29, 2013. The conference theme is Security Challenges in an Evolving World. Paper and panel proposals are now being accepted with an August 31, 2012 deadline for submission. Additional conference details can be found at: http://www.isanet.org/meetings/pss-isa-2013.html
Anyone interested in presenting a paper/panel, please let me know. Of course, you are welcome to submit additional panel and paper proposals for consideration beyond these two sponsored-caucus panels (see submission details on the conference webpage) but at this time, the conference organizers can only guarantee acceptance of two sponsored panels per caucus.
Best,
jbw
