Call for Papers
2009 Vietnam Center Conference
March 13-14, 2009
Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand and the Vietnam War 
Most historical examinations of the Vietnam War tend to focus on the
effects of the war on the principal participants to include the Republic
of Vietnam, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the United States.
The events that took place in Vietnam from 1955 through 1975, however,
had a tremendous impact on the entire region.
The purpose of the 2009 Vietnam Center Conference will be to examine the
effects of the war on the neighboring nations of Laos, Cambodia, and
Thailand.  The Vietnam Center invites both individual paper proposals as
well as complete panels that will examine a wide range of topics to
include the effects of the war within these nations either individually
or collectively; specific events and activities that took place within
each of these nations; the participation of US and other military,
diplomatic, and civilian organizations within these countries, issues of
regional and international diplomacy and diplomatic relations; the
participation of these nations' military, diplomatic, and civilian
organizations within Vietnam and each other,  postwar issues for each
nation, etc...
Persons interested in participating should provide a proposal as soon as
possible.  Please format proposals to resemble an abstract to include
the author's name, title, and affiliation, contact information, along
with a 500 word abstract.  Complete panel proposals should include brief
biographies of each speaker, their contact information, as well as a 500
word abstract that describes the theme and purpose for the panel.
Please submit proposals to:
