Call for papers (Closed)
The present call has a triple objective:
​
-
to bring together scholars to discussing papers addressing this multicomplex issue, entangling technical, social and cultural engineering; national, international and global politics; multi-actors’ agency; economics; and environmental studies related to large dams building;
-
gather case studies from as many different settings as possible;
-
collect works for a collective publication, either a book or a journal special issue. That depends of the number of participants, the result of the discussions, etc.
We are principally interested in papers dealing directly with dam building, but papers dealing with other water governance projects (water management, regulations, canals, irrigation etc.) in (quasi) imperial settings will be welcomed.
​
Submission of abstracts should be done no later than April 30th. Participants should send a short CV (200 words) and an abstract (max 300 words) to apl.silva@fct.unl , jira.janac@gmail.com and Benjamin.Brendel@gcsc.uni-giessen.de
