Six decades of the Past, six decades for the Future is an International conference celebrating 60 years of teaching and researching International Relations in Slovenia. It aims at capturing both the past and the present, in the light of challenges that the world has overcome or is yet to overcome. This is an open call, to our alumni who build their successful careers at universities both at home and abroad; to our friends with whom we have shared many working hours writing articles and books, founding international institutions; and to everyone who would wish to take some time to honour us with sharing their expertise, their critical thinking and knowledge and thus help us celebrate our anniversary. In this respect, we are proud to share the stage and partnership with the Central and East European International Studies Association (CEEISA), which since its creation in the 1990s has been an integral part of the IR community in Slovenia, and vice versa.

As this is the celebration of the discipline, we do not wish to make any restrictions with regard to topics: it’s the knowledge that matters! We welcome both papers and panels that reflect on the Cold War period, ideally from today’s perspective and those that discuss contemporary international relations since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Given the focus in teaching of international relations in Slovenia, we will be particularly happy to receive submissions dealing with history, international politics, IR theory, international political economy, international economic relations, politics of international law, development studies, conflict management, migration, the role of education, EU studies (history, politics, and policies, EU as a global actor), regional studies and global governance.

This application form is seperated in two sections: paper proposal and panelist proposal.
