AFRICA editorial board + ASAUK conference 2014
To the members of the AFRICA editorial advisory board:
As discussed at our most recent editorial advisory board, the IAI/AFRICA is able to sponsor one or two panels at the next ASAUK
conference being held 9-11 September 2014. The kind of sponsorship we anticipate is a modest financial contribution of e.g. £500 to a panel
to help an African scholar to attend the conference who would not be able to access full funding through other means.
At the 2012 ASAUK conference for example, the journal sponsored a panel on radio convened by Harri Englund; and at the recent AEGIS
conference, a round table on ‘the popular’ convened by Birgit Meyer/Filip De Boeck/Karin Barber.
The ASAUK’s CFP is attached. Please note that the deadline for submissions of panels is 20 September 2013. If you are proposing a panel, which you would like the IAI/AFRICA to consider sponsoring, please inform us about your panel by the same deadline giving an indication of the support being sought.
All requests for support from the IAI/AFRICA will be considered by the journal editors and Institute.

CFP Green and social: managing synergies and trade-offs, Bonn 12-14 March 2014
Dear colleague,
It is with great pleasure that we issue this call for papers (see attached pdf) for the international workshop on
‘Green and social: managing synergies and trade-offs’,
Tulpenfeld 6, Bonn, Germany, on 12-14 March 2014.
Existing development pathways need to be transformed so that they are more environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive. These two agendas can be synergistic or conflicting. Synergies have been explored to some extent in recent concepts such as the ‘green economy’, while the associated trade-offs and conflicts have received less attention.
With the workshop ‘Green and social: managing synergies and trade-offs’, the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) and the Poverty Reduction, Equity and Growth Network (PEGNet) aim to address the gap between environmental and social perspectives on development by bringing together research and practice, but also the environmental and the social inclusion communities.
The workshop will be split into two phases: The first two days will provide room to discuss the workshop themes in panel sessions, working groups and during keynote presentations. The third day aims to translate the findings into practice and offers researchers and practitioners the opportunity to engage in a dialogue on the practical implications of the earlier discussed issues.
Because of the multidimensional nature of the topics, we invite submissions from across disciplines such as economics, political science, sociology, and geography. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches.
Important dates:
Abstract submission: 30 September 2013
Notification of acceptance: 11 November 2013
Full paper submission: 31 January 2014
Please submit your abstract(s) of up to 500 words electronically to Sonja Neweling (sonja.neweling@die-gdi.de<mailto:sonja.neweling@die-gdi.de>), using’PEGNet 2014′ as subject matter.

Call for Participation
Borders and Boundaries in an Age of Global Urbanization (With a special track on Urban Issues in Central & South America and the Caribbean)
Abstract/Proposal Deadline: October 1, 2013
Urban areas have grown at an unprecedented rate in the last decade. More of the world’s population now lives in cities than in any other context. International trade, capital investment and divestment, migration, and porous economic, social and political boundaries fuel this global urbanization. Enormous governance challenges result for megacities and fast-growing urban centers due to in-migration and other trends, particularly in the global south. Ethnic, racial and economic disparities across the globe create new tensions and vehicles for exclusion, while also creating interesting possibilities for cooperation and collaboration. Economic, political, and environmental crises further burden governance and demand innovative solutions to problems unique to global urbanization. All of this raises old and new civic and policy questions about boundaries and borders of global urbanization. Consequently, the 2014 conference theme is « Borders and Boundaries in an Age of Global Urbanization. » The conference site, San Antonio, is a global city with a population of approximately 1.3 million, in a significant border region with boundaries that defy simple conceptualizations. It is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, and one of its most ethnically diverse, with almost 70 percent of its native and immigrant residents being of Hispanic descent. It provides a particularly apt setting to explore borders and boundaries and how they shape urban affairs in the 21st Century.
To broaden the conference discourse on the theme of global urbanization, UAA will sponsor a special track on Urban Issues in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. We welcome and will actively reach out to our research colleagues across these regions.

Call for Papers: Disciplining the Transnational Mobility of People – New Actors and Approaches in Migration Governance Association of American Geographer
Association of American Geographers (AAG) Annual Meeting, Tampa (Florida), April 8-12, 2014
“Disciplining the Transnational Mobility of People – New Actors and Approaches in Migration Governance”
Session Organizers: Martin Geiger (Carleton University) and Bethany Hastie (McGill University)
New approaches to migration and cross-border mobility of people rely heavily on claims to regulate and discipline mobility ‘through’, ‘in the interest of’, and ‘with the help of’ the individual persons crossing national borders. Challenging traditional concepts of state territoriality and conceptualizations of the border as a closed and bounded system, modern migration management is based on strategies which aim to ‘filter’ and ‘inform’ transnational movement, rather than simply ‘restrict’ human cross-border flows. Conventional ‘coercive’ border management is gradually being complemented and replaced by more indirect and subtle tactics and methods of ‘disciplining’ mobility. A further key characteristic of transnational migration governance is its multi-actor, multi-level and multi-dimensional character, utilizing non-state actors both within and beyond formal state borders to ‘assist’ and ‘regulate’ migration flo ws and information on different levels and through a multiplicity of normative sites and institutions.
This paper session will critically evaluate and debate the evolution of modern migration management, the actors involved, and tactics and strategies used to influence and discipline the mobility of individuals locally and globally. Grounded within the proposed, Foucauldian-inspired concept of ‘disciplining’, paper topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Conceptual and theoretical aspects of migration management as well as the empirical materialisations of innovative ‘management’ of flows and people;
- The role of non-state actors in influencing and implementing migration management policies, including intergovernmental/international organizations, civil-society/non-governmental and migrant organizations, private companies, and individual migrants;
- Power relationships between various actors involved in migration management;
- The new political geography of migration management;
- Specific topics, such as irregular migration, human trafficking, skilled migration, gender and identity in migration, etc.;
- The various tools of management, such as biometrics, integrated border management, information campaigns, anti-trafficking, etc.
Potential session participants should contact Bethany Hastie (bethany.tapp mail.mcgill.ca) by 01 September to indicate their interest in participating in the session(s).
