CFP Minority Issues and Non-Disrcimination Legislation

EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR MINORITY ISSUES - CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear All:
The Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe (JEMIE) is an
electronic journal produced under the auspices of the European Centre for
Minority Issues (ECMI). It is devoted to the analysis of current
developments in ethnopolitics and minority issues, and aims to stimulate
debate between practitioners and academics in these fields. As an electronic
journal it also aims to make scholarly debate available to as wide an
audience as possible and provide a forum where young scholars and
practitioners can present their ideas alongside more established actors.
Each quarter, a Special Focus section highlights a topic of particular
interest to specialists in minority issues and ethnopolitics. The
forthcoming winter focus will include a special section under the working
title: Recent Developments in Non-Discrimination Legislation
This section will seek to identify emerging approaches to non-discrimination
and equality.  Authors are encouraged to focus on new international legal
rules (such as the 12th Additional Protocol to the European Convention of
Human Rights) or current trends in international or (comparative)
constitutional jurisprudence and practice.  Apart from legal issues, authors
may wish to contribute papers on the policy of non-discrimination,
particularly in the context of minority-majority relations.

Among the many questions that authors may wish to address are:

o Is there an enforceable right to be different?

o How are 'reasonable and objective criteria' for
differentiation to be interpreted in 2002?

o Should the law seek to implement formal or material
equality?

o Does equality play a role in international criminal law?

o Global vs. regional human rights standards - a question of
equality?

o Are non-discrimination rules a proper tool for advancing
minority rights?

Articles of between 5000 and 7000 words may be submitted via email to Graham
Holliday (Editor-in-Chief) at [email protected]. Each contribution should be
accompanied by a short abstract (100-150 words) and a brief biographical
note outlining the author's credentials, affiliation and relevant
publications (approx. 70 words). Contributions considered of particularly
scholarly value will be considered for inclusion in the European Yearbook of
Minority Issues published by ECMI in collaboration with Kluwer
International. Final decisions on publication are reserved by the Editorial
Board.
A provisional deadline for submissions is schedule for 2 September 2002.
