> I am a co-managing editor for a special section of CRIA, the Cambridge
> Review of International Affairs published at the University of Cambridge
> in England. This section is devoting a special section in Autumn 2000 to
> the topic of "Disaster Diplomacy", i.e. case studies where natural
> disaster management has brought together nations which are normally
> considered to be in conflict--or contrary examples where a serious natural
> disaster failed to do so entirely.
>
> One of our potential case studies is the conflict between Ethiopia and
> Eritrea in the context of the drought and famine in the region,
> particularly when Eritrea agreed to permit food aid for Ethiopia to cross
> their country. We were wondering if you might able to recommend authors
> who would be interested in submitting an article with a length of
> approximately 5,000 words which might explore areas where the drought has
> created cooperation between Eritreans and Ethiopians--at any level--and
> why any such contact has seemingly failed to produce further diplomatic
> efforts at the higher political level. Full author guidelines and a
> detailed focus statement for the Disaster Diplomacy section are available.
> An abstract would need to be submitted by June 2 with the first draft of
> the article submitted by June 16.
>
> I hope that this opportunity would interest ESA and its members, and
> please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or for further
> information. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
