The CS-IVR accepts papers devoted to subjects in law and legal theory and moral and political theory. Submitted papers (and commentaries on them) are circulated (password protected) via the IVR website (http://phil.uregina.ca/cs-ivr) and the authors and commentators briefly summarize their points to open discussions at the meeting. See http://phil.uregina.ca/cs-ivr/about.html for further information about CS:IVR meetings.

There is no specific theme for this year’s meeting; so work in any of the above areas will be considered appropriate. However, we would especially welcome papers on themes related to current affairs such as international security, climate change, democracy, economic globalization, etc. Papers on the theme of the 2017 International IVR meeting in Istanbul [moved to Lisbon] – peace – would of course be most welcome as well.
