Call for Papers 2nd Symposium and 15th Workshop of the Terrorism Research Network (Netzwerk Terrorismusforschung e.V.) Main topic: Current dimensions of Terrorism Research: Developments and boundaries of Terrorism and other Crime phenomena in the Digital Age Place and time: Our 2nd Symposium and our 15th Workshop is organized together with the Federation of German Police Detectives and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and will take place in Wesseling near Cologne, Germany on October 15 – 17, 2014 We are looking for scientific Workshop presentations on October 16 and 17! The main topic: Terrorism is neither a new nor a static phenomenon. Terrorism and Extremism are in constant, sometimes rapid change, which does not always make definitions and boundaries very easy. Are definitions of the current state and foreseeable development fair and suitable? What role, for example, play organized crime and war crimes? Are there symbioses with other phenomena? Are there special cases of terrorism, beyond the existing definitions and boundaries? And what does all this mean for science, authorities and organizations with security tasks in a more and more digitized world? The Symposium and the Workshop offer the possibility to explore the changes of Terrorism and its links with other crime phenomena in the Digital Age on an usual level. To emphasize and deepen transdisciplinarity this event is organized together with the Federation of German Police Detectives and with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Traditionally a large part of our workshop (October 17) is not limited to the main topic. It should also provide space for other terrorism-related lectures and discussions. In particular, we especially invite PhD candidates to present their projects! Abstracts and Deadline: Please send abstracts for a lecture of about 30 minutes. There will be room for discussions after every single presentation (30 mins). Abstracts should not exceed 500 words and can be send to stephan.humer@netzwerk-terrorismusforschung.org The deadline for abstracts/presentations - in German language is August 31, 2014 - in English language is September 7, 2014 Please remember that we are not able to pay for travel costs, but for the entrance fee and an overnight stay (if applicable). You can of course attend the Symposium and the Workshop without a presentation, but not for free. Please check our website for updates on this issue. -- Dr. Stephan G.
