    The deadline for submissions for the 25th annual conference of the International Association of Conflict Management to be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa has been extended by two weeks. Submissions are now due before February 14th, 11:59pm Central European Time!

     

    We are also pleased to announce that recent Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Ms Leymah Gbowee, will be giving the keynote address at this year's conference.  Ms. Gbowee was instrumental in organizing the women of Liberia to help push the Liberian President Charles Taylor out of power (he is now on trial in the Hague for war crimes) . 

     

    Looking forward to seeing you there!

     

    Best regards,

    The IACM Program Committee

    The International Association for Conflict Management (IACM) was founded to encourage scholars and practitioners to develop and disseminate theory, research, and experience that are useful for understanding and improving conflict management in organizational, societal, family, and international settings. We invite papers as well as proposals for symposia and workshops for the 2012 meeting of IACM to be held in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

     

    You are invited to submit a paper, extended abstract, symposium or workshop. Submissions should present new material, distinct from published works (including those that will appear in-print before the conference) and presentations at other conferences. Submissions should be consistent with one or more of the general content areas listed below. We encourage a broad range of topic areas, and priority is given to those with clear relevance to conflict and conflict management research. We encourage innovative submissions that highlight dialogues between theory and practice, different cultures, different content areas, and different disciplines. Submissions will not be accepted after February 14, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. Central European (<ns0:country-region><ns0:place>Netherlands</ns0:place></ns0:country-region>) Time. The online submission portal will open by mid-January (please check the IACM website for updates).  Papers should be submitted through the IACM website:  www.iacm-conflict.org.
