July 4th - 5th 2011

Conference on "Domination Across Borders"

Hosted by 'Justitia Amplificata' and organized by the 'Justitia Amplificata' Postdoctoral Fellows.

Organizers

Barbara Buckinx, Jonathan Trejo-Mathys and Timothy Waligore
(‘Justitia Amplificata’ Postdoctoral Fellows)

This conference theorizes domination across borders in its conceptual, normative, historical, and institutional dimensions. The revival of the republican tradition of thought has again brought domination to the foreground as a central theoretical concern. With some notable exceptions, however, normative debates about domination have remained limited to the context of domestic politics. The conference aims to widen the focus of these debates by (1) extending them to the transnational and global levels, and (2) considering how domination (and other related notions) are conceptualized by different perspectives on politics.
