American University calls for papers on ACTA and Special 301

    Get Involved Today

    The American Universities’ Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property (PIJIP) is calling for a series of working papers on the public interest impacts of intellectual property enforcement covering a wide range of issues including the Special 301 process and the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). While a lot has been written about ACTA’s secretive process and its Internet chapter, PIJIP’s initiative may lead to a much more comprehensive analysis of ACTA particularly, and the enforcement agenda generally.

    As the American University’s website specifies, the papers should be 8-12 pages long and geared towards policy makers. Accepted papers will be presented at a workshop in Washington D.C. If you are interested in writing a paper, please contact Sean Flynn, Associate Director, PIJIP at pijip@wcl.american.edu. Abstracts should be submitted to pijip@wcl.american.edu by April 15. Draft papers are due by June 1, 2010.
