October 18-20, 2018
University of Colorado, Boulder
Keynote speaker: Alison Jaggar
Conference Theme: Economic Justice and Positive Peace
Genuine peace involves more than negative peace, i.e., merely the absence of violence. It also involves positive peace, i.e., the presence of conditions that promote and sustain meaningful and fulfilled lives. Fundamental to the achievement of positive peace is justice, not only in the legal sense, but also in the economic sense, as lack of adequate health, housing, and nutrition obstruct the attainment of fulfilled lives, and hence of both personal and interpersonal peace.
This year’s CPP conference invites abstract submissions on the following topics:
• Principles/conditions of just distribution
• Employee rights/employer rights
