"Norms in Conflict"
23 November 2010
2nd International Graduate Conference of the Cluster of Excellence “The Formation of Normative Orders”, 3-5 December 2010, Frankfurt, Germany
This year’s graduate conference will feature discussions about the dynamic interrelations between norms and conflicts as well as their manifold forms of expression. To this end, the PhD students and Post-docs have composed 24 interdisciplinary and thematically varied panels. With over 70 graduates from over 35 universities in nine countries, they will engage the question of how the transition of social orders invoke conflicts and how the norms negotiated therein influence the scale and course of those conflicts.
The program of the conference will be enriched with a keynote speech by Prof. Boaventura de Sousa Santos and a roundtable treating the topic, “International State-building: Securing Peace or Transforming Conflict?”, including Dr. William Bain, Prof. Richard Caplan, Prof. Bernd Ladwig and Dr. Roman Poeschke with Prof. Lothar Brock serving as moderator.
The organization team looks forward to a stimulating conference and a fruitful interdisciplinary exchange.
