Call for Papers
Northern Communities and the State
Dear Colleagues,
The Northern Review is a multidisciplinary journal of the arts and sciences
focusing on the human experience in, and throughout the North. The Review
is published at Yukon College in Canada's Yukon Territory and serves as a
vehicle for sharing information about the circumpolar world.
A forthcoming edition of Northern Review will be devoted to discussion of
relationships between "Northern Communities and the State." This broad
topic is intended to include exploratory, comparative or descriptive papers
that focus on the interface between communities and governments in the
North.
Papers that address center-periphery relationships and modes of governance
practiced in northern states are preferable. Your paper should be directed
to a general audience as well as policy makers and practitioners.
The North is made up many diverse communities that often develop special
relationships with the state and its organs. These relationships with
various government entities -ethnic, municipal/local, regional and
national- are, likewise, diverse. Intergovernmental relations also fall
under this thematic category, as do issues of public management, planning,
policy formulation and implementation.
We are looking particularly for papers focusing on state-community
relations that are unique to northern regions. Previously unpublished
manuscripts of 3,000 to 10,000 words are appropriate and electronic
submissions are desirable. Queries are welcome. Detailed submission
guidelines and a sample of articles published in The Northern Review are
available on the Internet at http://www.yukoncollege.yk.ca/review/. Authors
are encouraged to consult previous issues of the Northern Review.
The deadline for submission of abstracts of proposed papers is July 1st,
1999. The abstract should be no longer than one page and should include
tentative hypotheses, methodology and some literature citations. Those
whose proposals are accepted will be informed of paper deadlines and
expectations.
