Dear all,
please find attached a Call for papers for the german journal iz3w

It is somehow confusing (between public  goods and commons) but anyway,
whoever wants to contribute may help to sort out the confusions.

Call for papers

iz3w Nr 322 on allotment struggles for public goods

iz3w is one of the most important political magazines in German language
that deals with
north south issues and their economic, ecologic and social implications. In
six editions per
year, we focus on topics such as globalization - migration and racism, human
rights, peace
and war, development politics, post-colonialism, ecology and media as well
as on social
movements.

The iz3w does not claim to be a neutral source of information and analysis
of world
happenings. We are more inclined towards a critical approach of the "new
world order",
which in our opinion is not for the betterment of all. Seeing an abundance
of material
possibilities to guarantee a decent living for all, we deplore a world where
billions are forced
to live in poverty & suppression.

In our edition appearing in December 2010, we will focus on public goods and
the struggle
about them. We will ask about definitions and limitations of the public
goods concept and we
will reflect the past and present debates on related issues such as public
global goods or on
commons. Of course, the capitalist seizure of public goods in the name of
privatisation is one
important matter, but we do not want to limit our focus on the accusation
against the
neoliberal privatizers.

We would rather like to ask about those who are on the other side of
privatization. What are
their forms of organizing and which strategies have lead to success? We are
equally
interested in strategies of defence as in strategies of appropriation of
goods that have been
or should be public.

This call is to ask for case studies on the issue from all over the planet.
Water may, on the
grounds of its universal importance, be one main issue for the magazine, but
also other
goods such as land, air, sea, knowledge and energy will be interesting to
read about. We are
looking for authors who are willing to contribute an idea or an essay (5.000
– 11.000 digits)
on one of these topics. As for the style, we do prefer informative and
pointed articles to
purely scientific analysis. Interviews with key persons of allotment
struggles would be equally
apt. Please communicate your idea as soon as possible to koengeter at iz3w.org.

Texts should be submitted before September 30th 2010. Please forward this
call to any other
person that you think could contribute to an interesting edition of our
magazine.
The printed magazine will be published in German Language on December, 20th
2010.

Original versions of contributions in other languages will be published on
our website
