Istanbul, Turkey - Call for papers
Application deadline:
August 20, 2007
Poverty is a widespread
and global phenomenon, which has pervasive effects on global and local
communities. Different social scientific disciplines, vary from sociology to
economics, political science to social work, emphasize on the different aspects
of the problem, and thus contribute the existing literature on poverty and its
causes, pervasiveness and effects in 21st century. Furthermore, there is a
profusion of supranational actors, usually lying beyond the state, to tackle
poverty. UNDP, World-Bank and local or global civil society organizations work
in the field of poverty alleviation and offer a variety of services and
solutions to the problem of poverty alongside the nation-states. In this
respect, it is crucial to bring civil, public, academic and supranational actors
together to discuss different aspects of the problem of poverty and thus to
establish global and local platforms to fight against p! overty.
Deniz Feneri Poverty Research Center, to promote cooperation and exchange of
knowledge and expertise in the field of poverty alleviation, aims to organize an
international symposium on poverty between 1st and 3rd of February, 2008 in
