CALL FOR PAPERS

THE ARAB-TURKISH CONGRESS OF SOCIAL SCIENCES (ATCOSS-2010)

"Culture and Middle Eastern Studies"

10-12 December, 2010. Ankara, Turkey

The congress aims to bring together scholars of the Middle East to 
exchange ideas and findings concerning the mutual problems of the 
region, and swap experiences about scientific methods and approaches 
within Middle Eastern studies. This will be an excellent opportunity to 
explore the varied intellectual trends across scholarly boundaries. 
Among the growing trends, we will focuses on the cultural variables in 
understanding political, economic, social, and historical issues. Such 
trends are most important for our region since culture is essential for 
attaining homogeneity and unity in the region while recognizing its 
diversity. ATCOSS 2010 aims to reconsider cultural factors in relation 
to other factors in attempting to build new untraditional perspectives 
and approaches for Middle Eastern studies. The Congress invites the 
researchers from all fields and branches of social sciences to 
participate with papers in Arabic, Turkish or English. We suggest the 
following themes (though not limited to):

International relations and issues.
Public policy
Society and the state
Political and economic development
Pedagogical theories and systems
Media and virtual reality studies
Comparative religion studies
Ethics of politics and economic practice
Acculturation and dialogue of civilizations
Innovation in literature and arts theory
Cross-cultures comparisons
Cities and urban transformations
Comparative history
Middle Eastern relations

Young Academics: The Congress specifically encourages young academics 
interested in the regional affairs in general and the Arab-Turkish 
affairs in particular. 10 young scholars (graduate students) from Arab 
and Turkish sides will be completely sponsored to attend the Congress.
