Migration Issues before International Courts and Tribunals – Call for papers

È aperta la Call for papers per il volume Migration Issues before International Courts and Tribunals a cura di Giovanni Carlo Bruno del CNR IRISS, di Fulvio Maria Palombino dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘Federico II’ e di Adriana Di Stefano dell’Università di Catania.

La collaborazione del CNR IRISS con il Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘Federico II’ nelle ricerche giuridiche in materia di Migrazioni e Sviluppo, ha già portato alla pubblicazione dei seguenti volumi:

1. Migration and Development: Some Reflections on Current Legal Questions, Rome, 2016 (open access);
2. Migration and the Environment: Some Reflections on Current Legal Issues and Possible Ways Forward, Rome 2017 (open access)

The call for papers aims to offer an opportunity for experts, scholars and policy makers, for a critical review of the practice of international Courts and Tribunals on migration issues.

The volume is intended to analyze in detail the case law of international Courts and Tribunals on questions connected to migration and to migrants and to explore their contribution to the application and the development of legal rules on human migration. Its main goals include the dissemination of the relevant judicial practice; the investigation of the possibility for a wider application of international rules and standards on migration issues; the assessment of the extent to which international judges have played or could play a law-making role in the field of international migration law.

Contributions can cover, inter alia, the following areas:

• The application of international (universal and regional) legal rules by a specific international Court and/or Tribunal;
• Consistency and cross-references in the case law of international Courts and Tribunals on migration issues;
• Main differences in the approaches of Courts and Tribunals to migration issues;
• The relationship between the case law of international Courts and Tribunals and Human Rights Supervisory Bodies on migration issues;
• The relationship between the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice on migration issues;
• Protection of specific groups on migration issues before international Courts or Tribunals;
• Gender perspectives in the application of existing international rules and standards of refugee law by international Courts and Tribunals;
• Judicial approaches to conflicts between international migration law and other norms of both international human rights law and other fields of international law.

Abstracts of no more than 500 words, written in English or French and including the author’s name and e-mail address, should be submitted to: migrationandevelopment@gmail.com .

A one-page curriculum vitae should be attached to the abstract.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 30 September 2018.

Successful applicants will be notified via e-mail by 10 October 2018 and are expected to produce the final paper (8000-10000 words approx.) by 15 February 2019.

Papers will be peer-reviewed before final acceptance for publication.

25esima Conferenza IAPS “Transitions to sustainability, lifestyles changes and human wellbeing: cultural, environmental and political challenges”- Roma, dal 8 al 10 luglio 2018

25esima conferenza IAPS “International Association People-Environment Studies” a Roma dal 8 al 13 luglio 2018.

Nell’attuale contesto economico e sociale, comprendere la difficile relazione tra gli individui e l’ambiente è sempre più importante. E’ oramai riconosciuta, infatti, sia dall’opinione pubblica che dal mondo scientifico e politico, la necessità di favorire una società più inclusiva ed attenta agli aspetti della sostenibilità.

Sono queste le tematiche alla base della 25esima conferenza IAPS che vedrà l’intervento di studiosi di diverse discipline scientifiche. Attraverso contributi realizzati con diversi approcci, teorie e metodi, la conferenza intende rappresentare un’opportunità per fornire strumenti e metodologie utili a comprendere le dinamiche attuali e ad aiutare i decision makers ad affrontare le nuove sfide della sostenibilità.

In questo contesto, il CNR IRISS partecipa alla conferenza con la presentazione del paper “Place attachment and sustainable behaviour in heritage tourism”, a cura delle ricercatrici Piera Buonincontri e Alessandra Marasco e della Professoressa Haywantee Ramkissoon, della Curtin University (Australia).

Il lavoro fa parte del progetto “Il comportamento esperienziale dei visitatori culturali. Nuove traiettorie di analisi tra esperienza di fruizione, place attachment e comportamento sostenibile” e mira a presentare un framework concettuale per esaminare in che modo le esperienze culturali dei visitatori sono in grado di influenzare il loro comportamento sostenibile, mediante l’importante ruolo del place attachment.
