“Rethinking Democracy” – Pax Romana Journal 2021
Call for Proposals and Papers
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed and exacerbated a growing crisis in democratic forms of organizing. Over the past year, people have taken to the streets in countries across the globe, including Brazil, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Nigeria, and the United States to call for more justice and democracy in their countries. At the sametime, the pandemic opens up new questions with the rise of vaccine nationalism, the global inequality of distribution of medical supplies, rising levels of unemployment and economic inequalities, and the failure of governments to effectively coordinate with each other in public health. The questions of democractic participation also find parallels within the church, as Catholics reflect on the meaning and value of synodality and lay participation in decision making.
In light of these challenges, the 2021 Pax Romana Journal invites you to submit journal articles on rethinking democracy in the pandemic and beyond. Possible topics include:
- human Rights and democracy;
- country specific situations;
- the Catholic church and democracy;
- youth/student participation in democracy;
- racial justice and democracy;
- faith, church reform, synodality, and lay participation;
- democracy, good governance and global governance;
- climate change and ecological justice;
- the role of social movements, NGOs, and Pax Romana groups,
The Pax Romana Journal is an interdisciplinary, international, and intergenerational journal of IMCS and ICMICA. Submissions are welcome from university students, young professionals, and intellectuals from any field of research (medicine, law, theology/spirituality, sociology, economics, political science, etc).
