Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Ethnic Relations 2008 (ICoER) is a
multidisciplinary conference aimed at bringing together researchers and
practitioners interested in the area of ethnic relations.

Call for Papers

The world in the 21st century is filled with various conflicts and
contradictions and many international and regional conflicts are
closely related
to national-ethnical groups. Civil wars, ethnic tension or
misunderstanding have
occurred over ethnic issues. It is hoped that this conference can help to
introduce new concepts and ideas by reputed scholars, which help to foster
better ties among different ethnic groups across nations.

The conference would be of interest to politicians, policy makers, law makers,
academicians, NGOs, sociologists, linguists, anthropologists, and political
scientists and we encourage authors from various disciplines to submit
papers on
one of the topics indicated below, describing original work, including
techniques, or survey papers, reporting research results and/or indicating
future directions to ethnic conflict resolution in a range of
settings. Analyses
of all aspects of ethnic relations are welcome, including those within applied
and professional areas such as business, education, environment,
health, and law.
