Columbia University’s Journal of International Affairs is currently accepting submissions for its Summer 2020 Issue: Politics of Protest.
The issue will examine protest movements across the globe, from Hong Kong to Lebanon to Chile. It will also explore sub-national and transnational trends: how modern technology shapes modern protest, how international law and institutions can support, or undermine, regional movements, how contemporary protests compare to historical movements, and more.
Relevant topics may include but are not limited to:
- Tribal, state, local, or trans-national protests movements
- Retrospective analyses on failed or successful protests
- Comparison of current and past protest movements
- The role of international law and institutions in supporting protest movements
- How modern technology shapes modern protest
