Deadline- 24 May 2012.
The South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) invites interested researchers to submit abstracts under the theme “Sustainable Prosperity: New Challenges for Natural Resource Governance Theory in Africa”.
Selected papers will be published as a series of occasional papers and authors will further be invited to present their papers at a conference to be hosted by SAIIA in Johannesburg, South Africa in November 2012.
The demand for Africa’s natural resources continues to grow despite uncertainties in the global financial system. Diminishing reserves in traditional production areas combined with high commodity prices and technological innovations are driving exploration activities across the continent, resulting in the discovery of significant new gas, oil and mineral reserves. Investment flows reflect broader changes to the global economy, as BRICS and other non-traditional investors increase their footprint on the continent.
Papers should consist of 6000 – 8000 words. An honorarium of US$ 1500 will be paid for the papers accepted for publication.
Eligibility-
- Abstracts should consist of no more than 500 words. All abstracts, as well as any queries related to this call for abstracts, should be submitted to resourcetheory@saiia.org.za
- Please note that the acceptance of an abstract does not guarantee publication.
- The summary should include the institutional position of the candidate and his/her contact details.
