Submissions

For CESRAN 2024, we will accept three submission types:

Individual paper submissions
Panel submissions
Roundtable submissions

We accept scholarly research papers and policy analyses on any topic related to international studies in its broadest definition.

Panel: It is for a group of experts working in a specific area to share papers or papers in progress. Panel submissions should include at least four papers, a discussant, and a chair, or five papers and a chair.

The Review Process

Once the online submission process is closed, individual paper/panel/roundtable submissions are peer-reviewed by the conference programme committee.

Where there are individual papers with scholarly merit but for which there is no good panel fit, the conference chairs will attempt to construct interdisciplinary panels.
