CYPRUS AND DIVIDED SOCIETIES
Queen's University Belfast, 21 May 2008

The International Politics and Ethnic Conflict Cluster and the Centre for
Research in Political Psychology at Queen's University Belfast will host a
one-day multi-disciplinary workshop on Cyprus and Divided Societies on
Wednesday 21 May 2008.

The workshop aims to bring together younger and more established researchers
interested in factors and processes which facilitate or hinder the
resolution of inter-group conflict in Cyprus with researchers who are
working on similar issues in different societies. We invite papers from
researchers working from different disciplinary perspectives. We especially
welcome papers which focus on Cyprus and involve comparisons with other
divided societies. We look forward to papers investigating the impact of
Europeanization, media in divided societies, the role of religious actors,
institutional design and social psychological dimensions of conflict.
Comparative studies of Cyprus and Northern Ireland are particularly welcome.

Paper proposals (max. 300 words) should be sent by email to
n.loizides at qub.ac.uk no later than 17 March 2008. A panel will assess the
paper proposals and successful applicants will be informed by 20 March.

The workshop will form a prelude to the Mitchell conference 'Moving on from
Conflict: Lessons from Northern Ireland' on May 22-23 a key event
celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Belfast Agreement
