Conference in Ankara, Turkey on the Nation State

Subject: Conference: Globalization, Security and the Nation State,
15-16.6.2002, Ankara

Globalization, Security and the Nation State
Saturday-Sunday, June 15-16, 2002
Sheraton, Noktali Sok, Kavaklidere, Ankara, Turkey

The conference, which is organized by the Center for Eurasian Strategic
Studies (CESS), seeks to draw links between the concepts of globalization,
security, and the nation state. The literature has seen considerable debate
centering on the relationship between globalization and the nation state,
revealing a largely traditionalist approach based on a belief in the
resilience of the nation state, as well as a transformationalist approach,
which postulates that the concept and role of statehood is in
transformation. The events of September 11 remind us of the necessity to
reincorporate issues of national security/security dilemmas into this
discussion. If the September 11 attacks reveal the changing nature of
security concerns on the bases of level, actor and impact, how does this
affect the traditionalist and transformationalist viewpoints? The intention
of the workshop is to focus largely on states of the Developing World both
because the new threat to global security is perceived to be primarily
stemming from there and also because these states remain largely on the
receiving end of both pressures of traditional security threats and the
integrative/ fragmentive dynamics of the new epoch. For further information
