Dear Members and Friends of EATS,
Today we would like to call your attention to two calls for papers from the Central European Journal of International and Security Studies (CEJISS) that may be of interest to scholars in Taiwan Studies.
1. Call for Papers – Thematic Section – Politics of Anniversaries in International Relations
In this call, we invite prospective authors to analyse different aspects of the politics of anniversaries and explore how, why, or to what end anniversaries are constructed, mobilised, and instrumentalised. We are interested in any anniversaries relevant in the context of international politics (as a subject of scholarly inquiry) and International Relations (as an academic discipline, broadly defined). At the same time, we are also open to contributions that incorporate insights from Sociology, Social Anthropology, Political and Human Geography, Post-Colonial Studies, Area Studies, and any other relevant branch of social sciences.
We are looking for:
- Standard research articles whose ambitions, research goal and framework are adjusted to the length of thematic section contributions (4,000-8,000 words). Papers with a strong narrative are particularly encouraged.
- Sophisticated academic essays (op-eds) that develop or build on the existing theoretical repertoire of International Relations (or closely related disciplines), offer a clear argument and contribute to academic debates.
Deadline for abstracts (about 200 words): 30 September 2025
Print publication: 30 June 2026
