Call for Papers
The theme of this symposium is to explore the ways in which responsibility for socio-economic development is shaped by the differing interests of business, government, and multilateral organisations (NGOs, Charities, and bodies). These interests both compete and cooperate, generating a creative tension between public and private interests among others. How do the tensions and overlaps between these constituencies affect sustainable development? We welcome conceptual, empirical (quantitative and qualitative) and case study research that address any aspect of the nexus of responsibility, in any context.
Send your abstract or paper (full or work-in-progress) to [log in to unmask] and if accepted you will be invited to register as a presenter in the symposium.
All presentations and papers will be published as symposium proceedings. Selected papers will be double-blind reviewed, for a special issue of the International Journal of Innovation and Sustainable Development.
If you wish to attend as non-presenter, then simply register and pay the registration fee: http://www.cr-sd.org/#!registration/c1v6e
