The Format We have ten authors and discussants. Authors have 10 minutes to present, discussants will then have 15‐20 minutes to provide comments. NO POWERPOINT! Both can address the following:  What is the key conceptual contribution to the field?  Who is the audience for this book?  Does it speak to multiple IR traditions?  What alternative approaches could be applied to this project?  What problems does the author face with revisions?  How can the manuscript improve? We then open it up for general discussion. Please note that we are trying to enhance and develop manuscripts, so this is not a thesis defence. As the authors and discussants are only reading the proposal and the introduction, we cannot get into empirical detail. Of course authors and discussants may note the contents as outlined in the proposal, but we are dealing with broad issues rather than empirical detail. Instructions for the Authors Please provide a book proposal and your one sample chapter from the manuscript (normally the introduction) absolutely by the close of business May 11 2012. Send it to me and to your discussant. If you are comfortable sending it to everyone on the e‐
mail list then please do so, as others may have the chance to read the documents and provide you with feedback in the sessions. The proposal should be a standard proposal or the one you have sent to the publisher. If you have not written a proposal before, then please see the document I have attached, which was the original proposal for the book The Social Sources of Financial Power (Cornell, 2006). Instructions for the Discussants Thank you for participating in these sessions. Please read the proposal and sample chapter provided by the authors. If you have received proposals and chapters from other authors and have an opportunity to read them I am sure the author concerned would appreciate the feedback. Funding CSGR is covering the accommodation costs for participants for the Thursday night, as well as the dinner. All costs will be covered for the discussants (we will reimburse your flights/train tickets). The authors will need to cover their own travel costs, as well as the cost of the dinner on the second night.
