  Global Ethics of Compromise

  This international conference in political studies and political philosophy wishes to explore the notion of compromise in its transnational dimension, in order to test the relevance of a cultural and global approach to compromise. The topics addressed by the conference are the following: Can we develop morally right and wrong compromise typologies? Can we propose a universal ethics of compromise or does compromise vary depending on the socio-cultural history of a country? To what extent is culture relevant in shaping types and norms of compromise?

  Indonesian Exceptionalism: Values and Morals of the Middle Ground

  ‘Exceptionalism’ is a borrowed political term that implies that a country or entity is somehow special. Indonesia is not small. Indonesia is not poor in cultures, religions, society, or ethnic groups. Indonesia is not unimportant economically, regionally, or politically. Historically, Indonesia has always been an exceptional place. Indonesia as ‘imagined community’ continues to be an ongoing process. Various questions that can be raised include: What are relevant Indonesian values and morals for maintaining Indonesia’s competitiveness in the global world? What is religion’s contribution to forming agreed values and ethics? To what extent is there an Indonesian contribution in balancing Islamic values and democratic practices? How do religious values impact the ethics of state governance?

  Les fondements de la filiation

  L'adage mater semper certa est est sorti renforcé de la réforme du droit de la filiation de 2005. Il implique une différence de fondement entre la paternité et la maternité de plus en plus remise en cause d'autant qu'il existe une part commune aux hommes et aux femmes dans l'engendrement : la transmission du patrimoine génétique. Par ailleurs, le progrès scientifique, en ouvrant les possibilités d'assistance médicale à la procréation, a conduit à une dissociation autrefois inconcevable entre différents fondements de la filiation (dons de gamètes ou gestation pour autrui). Face à différents fondements possibles et pertinents de la filiation, les choix normatifs sont délicats à opérer et nécessitent une profonde réflexion. Compte tenu de la diversité des législations et de la facilité des déplacements, la réflexion et le débat doivent se nourrir du droit comparé et du droit international.

  Waqf: Modern State Control and Nationalization

  Second Law of Waqf Conference

  Following the first of three conferences on "The Law of Waqf" organised by Harvard Islamic Legal Studies Program which concentrated on the legal origins of waqf to Ottoman-era maturity (convened in May 2006), we are now solliciting abstracts for the second conference which will focus on colonial era law in relation to waqf (mid 19th century to the end of the colonial period). Both indigeneous and colonial law relating to the legal system of waqf are of interest to this conference which will occur in Cambridge, Mass., on 16-18 May 2008. All abstracts and papers are to be in English.
