<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; line-height: 26px;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; line-height: 26px;"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This
conference, aimed specifically at post- graduate students, aims to
discuss and analyse the shift from the political/legal discussions of
humanitarian intervention, prevalent in the 1990s, to sociological
discussions of state-building intervention today. Some of the core
conceptual themes of state-building, which we wish to investigate,
appear to have a social or sociological framing. For example,
sovereignty is increasingly understood in terms of functional
capacity rather than formal rights to self-government. Through the
sociological shift, state-building interventions are seen to build
sovereignty rather than undermine it. Similarly, democracy and its
development are increasingly understood to be social processes of
empowering or capacity-building citizens through intervention in the
social realm of civil society. We want to discuss further the
problematic of social empowerment and the shift to societal forms of
intervention rather than interventions at the level of formal state
institutions, now increasingly discredited. Whereas discourses of
liberal internationalism forwarded understandings of a global
community with global norms, state-building discourses increasingly
focus on societal differences of culture, ideologies and social
institutional frameworks. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The
emphasis on such conceptual and methodological themes might concern
the turn to biopolitical understandings, the shift from state-based
security to societal security under resilience, Arendtian framings of
the rise of the social, and emergence of constructivism and
sociological institutionalism, other new institutionalist and
agent-centred framings in cognitive disciplines such as economics and
history.</span></span></span></div>
