Conference on the State, 2005

April 8 - April 10, 2005
Columbia University, New York, NY

Organized by David Johnston and David Armitage
Sponsored by Columbia Center for Law and Philosophy (Jeremy Waldron, Director), Columbia Ceminar on Political and Social Thought (David Johnston, Chair)  
 

Description

The subject of this conference will be the state and, more specifically, state centrism. The organizers are David Johnston (Political Science, Columbia, and CSPT Chair) and David Armitage (History, Harvard).

The conference will bring together specialists from several fields to ask whether (or not) the state has been too central to inquiries in the human and social sciences and, if it has, how it came to be so and what consequences that centrality has had.
