Call for papers for edited book by JustExports-members, Submission Deadline- February 15th, 2025.’
Theme
Criminal justice and global crime governance are an integrated – but underexplored – dimension of states’ foreign affairs. Beyond its territorial borders, states seek to govern through crime and criminal justice, sometimes bilaterally, often multilaterally, and increasingly to tackle the identified perils of global flows. Criminology have studied the widening net of global crime governance as part of the liberal international project, where efforts to fight transnational and international crimes and insecurities while promoting penal reform in the global south have dovetailed liberal ‘universals’ of human rights, rule of law, democracy, and development. Today, due in part to seismic geopolitical shifts and power struggles, the liberal international order underpinning these discourses and their practices are in decline.
We are interested in a variety of topics on crime, justice, and foreign affairs, including contemporary and historical perspectives. We welcome contributions from all around the world. Contributions may focus on, but are not limited to, states’ foreign policy on the internationalization of specific penal policies, sanctions and arrest warrants as foreign policy tools, colonial trajectories of penal (state) power, and the foreign policy of ‘extraterritorial’ crime control such as transnational prison deals, penal reform, and penal development aid.
Deadline
If you are interested in being part of the edited book, abstracts of approximately 300 words should be emailed to Kjersti Lohne at [email protected] before February 15th, 2025.
