(Apologies for cross-posting)
We're pleased to invite you to a 3-day online conference (via Zoom):
Mobilization, Interaction, Contention - Relations Between NGOs/Civil Society and States in Times of COVID-19
The conference promises unique perspectives on the at-times tense, other times fruitful (and sometimes, both) relations between state agents and institutions and various non-governmental actors. Unique, because of the interdisciplinary approaches coming into dialogue (among them: Social Work, Law, International Relations, Political Science, Anthropology, Political Geography, and more); the different geo-political contexts surveyed; and the in-depth analysis of themes that carry a sense of urgency.
