EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES INTERNATIONAL

Call for Papers for a Special Issue

Diversity Management in the Middle East

Guest Editors: Ronald J. Burke, Jawad Syed and F. Pinar Acar



Equal Opportunities International is pleased to announce a special issue
focused on diversity management in the Middle East. The special issue
will examine different types of national and corporate institutions,
strategies, theoretical ideas, and  activities involved in diversity and
equality practices in the Middle East. The special issue aims to offer a
range of national, ideological and practical perspectives on diversity
and equal opportunity; what diversity management means both for those
who do equality and diversity  work as professionals and as activists,
and those who experience its effects in countries as diverse as Turkey,
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, Iran, Qatar, UAE, and other countries which
are considered to be a part of the greater Middle East. The Middle East
lies at the juncture of Eurasia and Africa and of the Mediterranean Sea
and the Indian Ocean. It is the birthplace and spiritual centre of three
main Abrahamic religions, i.e., Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The
economic structure of Middle Eastern countries is also diverse in the
sense that while some countries are heavily dependent on export of oil
and oil-related products (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran), others
have a highly diverse economic and industrial base (e.g., Egypt and
Israel). 

The special issue poses questions about  what is distinctive about
current discourses and practices of equality and diversity in the Middle
East, how different or similar they are to the Western discourses of
diversity management, and their possible implications for governments,
organizations and individuals.
 
Papers  are invited from academics and practitioners who do work in the
area of equality and diversity, including but not limited to the areas
of religion, age, disability, ethnicity ('race'), gender, sexualities
and from a range of national contexts. We invite papers that deal with
these issues either in a single country or in a comparative perspective.
Papers could include reflections on:
        *State  institutions of diversity and equality: governance,
local authorities, equality commissions, third sector/not for profit
organizations, funding regimes including potential country specific
differences in affirmative action, statutes, and laws.
        *Activism and the politics of diversity and equality: insiders,
outsiders, social movements, communities, activist organizations,
boundary work.
*	The bureaucratization and technologies of diversity and
equality: audits, equality measures, monitoring, policy documents,
corporate plans, targets, equality standards,  diversity training, and
other organizational initiatives. 
*	Diversity and equality formations: regional and national
anti-racism, corporate diversity, femocracies, office reform movements,
and state equality practices. 
*	The professionalization of diversity and equality:
credentialization, equality consultancy, the expertise of equality
practice, equality professionals and competences.
*	Discriminatory practices and policies of unequal employment
prevalent in countries of the region, their influence on the
stigmatized, and coping mechanisms.

The editors invite contributions to the above or to further issues that
can be usefully raised in examining diversity management in the Middle
East. We are particularly interested in papers, either conceptual  or
empirical, that offer fresh contributions to the existing 'mainstream'
literature and its underlying assumptions of diversity management. We
also seek papers that break new ground and outline new directions for
interdisciplinary conversation and diversity research. 

This call is open and competitive, and the submitted papers will be
blind reviewed in the normal way. Submission will be taken to imply that
a paper contains original work that has not previously been published
and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors should
follow the journal's regular guidelines, as published in every issue of
the journal. Papers should be no longer than 7000 words.. 

*	October 1, 2008 Call for papers issued
*	March 1, 2009 Submission of papers
*	July 1, 2009 Editorial decision
*	2010 Anticipated publication of the special issue

Prospective contributors can also liaise with the guest editors before
the submission date to discuss the suitability of their work for this
publication. All submissions for the special issue will be subject to
full peer review. 

For further information about the journal, and link to author guidelines
and submission, please visit the EOI web pages via:
