The Stanford Law & Policy Review is soliciting articles for an upcoming symposium on National Defense Policy. The submission deadline is Aug. 1, 2010.
The Stanford Law & Policy Review is a well-respected academic journal at Stanford Law School that explores current issues at the nexus of law and public policy. For each issue we solicit articles from prominent practitioners, policy makers, professors, judges, lawyers, political leaders, regulators, economists, and other experts. Past contributors include President (then Governor) Bill Clinton, Senator John McCain, and Governor Jeb Bush.
The National Defense Policy Symposium will be focused on recent changes and trends affecting national security and the ways in which law and policy may need to adapt in order to respond to these changes. Topics that we would like to cover in the symposium include:
- Veteran Affairs
- New Realms of Warfare (e.g. cyber-warfare, threat finance, etc.)
- Law of War (e.g. targeted killing, detention, etc.)
- Nation Building
- Counter-Insurgency / Counter-Terrorism
- Privatization and War (e.g. the role of private companies in modern warfare)
- Energy, Environment, and Defense
Submissions for publication may cover these topics or any other subject that fits within the broad framework of national security law and policy.
We will accept article submissions until August 1, 2010. Articles should be between ten and forty double-spaced pages, not including notes and citations. Articles should be submitted via e-mail to slpr.defense.symposium [at] gmail.com.
Selected articles will be published in May 2011. Authors will be invited to present their articles at a conference on national security law and policy at Stanford University.
Update Aug. 9, 2010: The date for the symposium has been tentatively set for Nov. 5, 2010.

Emergency Regulation under the Threat of a Catastrophe: a Hard Look at the Volcanic Ash Crisis will be a two-day workshop at HEC Paris, Nov. 10-11, 2010. Abstracts are due Sept. 15, 2010. A selection of papers will be published in the European Journal of Risk Regulation.
The recent Iceland volcanic ash crisis epitomizes the general problem of emergency response in a world of uncertain manufactured and natural risks. A cloud of volcanic ash preventing travelling across an entire continent probably did not feature in the risk-management scenarios of many firms. No surprise that the immediate and drastic regulatory response which followed soon became an uneven political dispute between industry economic power and regulatory science, with consumers caught in the middle. Regulatory systems designed for careful deliberation and cooperative action had to respond almost instantly to a barrage of data arguments and conflicting legal interpretations, with threats of litigation on one side and the risk of loss of human life on the other.
There will be no cost for presenters to attend the workshop. Both their accommodation and reasonable travelling costs will be covered. mw
