16th Berlin Roundtables on Transnationality, October 17 – 20, 2012

 From Rebellion to Revolution: Dynamics of Political Change Submission 
deadline is June 30, 2012.

Based on an international essay competition, we will invite 
approximately 45 applicants to discuss their research, concerns and 
agendas with peers and prominent scholars in Berlin. The competition is 
open to students and scholars (max. up to 5 years after Ph.D.), 
journalists and activists interested in revolutionary processes (e.g. 
government agencies, NGOs). The Irmgard Coninx Foundation will cover 
travel to and accommodation in Berlin.

Conference papers can address but are not limited to the following topics:

- dynamics of political/system change
- democratization and human rights in revolutionary processes
- violence
- mass mobilization
- (new) media and revolution today
- role of elites and elite competition/coalitions
- role of military and police forces
- economic and political reasons for rebellion and their course
- cultural and religious factors influencing revolutions
- demographic and social background of revolutions
- foreign military and humanitarian intervention
- revolution/rebellion as analytical and normative concept

Discussions will take place in three workshops chaired by Wolfgang 
Merkel (Humbold-Universität zu Berlin/WZB), Christoph Stefes (University 
of Colorado Denver/WZB), Jeff Goodwin (New York University) and Sonja 
Hegasy (Zentrum Moderner Orient).

The conference will be accompanied by evening lectures by Nancy Fraser 
(The New School for Social Research) and Amr Hamzawy (requested, 
University of Cairo/Freedom Egypt Party).

Conference participants are eligible to apply for one of up to three 
three-month fellowships to be used for research in Berlin at the WZB.
