         THE INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW--BLOOMINGTON

               invite you to their annual symposium:

                OPERATIONALIZING GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

                       March 19 - 21, 2008

       At the Indiana University School of Law-Bloomington,
         211 S. Indiana Ave., Bloomington, Indiana 47405


     Global governance scholarship has thus far remained in the
     realm of ideas, identifying new lawmaking authorities and
     networks of enforcement while analyzing the ramifications
     for democracy and the rule of law. This conference strives
     to advance that line of scholarship by identifying patterns
     in the ways that various actors - states, corporations,
     civil society, and resulting networks - are confronting
     complex problems resulting from globalization. The
     symposium panels will be organized around specific actors
     and instances where we see these networks first-hand. The
     panelists will emphasize actual case studies from specific
     situations (such as counterinsurgency, USAID efforts,
     constitution-making, or post-conflict humanitarian
     interventions) that press scholars of law and others toward
     solutions. Together, we will analyze the intersections of
     law and government, civil society, corporations and
     business practices - ultimately imagining governance
     principles that promote the common good and preserve the
     rule of law and democratic representation.
