Your paper should be directed to a general audience as well as policy makers and practitioners. The North is made up many diverse communities that often develop special relationships with the state and its organs. Intergovernmental relations also fall under this thematic category, as do issues of public management, planning, policy formulation and implementation. We are looking particularly for papers focusing on state-community relations that are unique to northern regions. Previously unpublished manuscripts of 3,000 to 10,000 words are appropriate and electronic submissions are desirable.
Queries are welcome.
The deadline for submission of abstracts of proposed papers is July 1st, 1999. The abstract should be no longer than one page and should include tentative hypotheses, methodology and some literature citations. Those whose proposals are accepted will be informed of paper deadlines and expectations. If you have questions or concerns please contact the co-editors of this issue. But you are allowed to tell me if you think this newsletter is a GOOD idea, too.
