            Special Issue of Government Information Quarterly on
     "National Security Policies and Implications for Information Flow"

This special issue of GIQ will examine the impacts and implications of
national security policies regarding the flow and exchange of information.
The aim is to promote government policies around security and terrorism as
an important object of scholarly investigation. It is also intended to
encourage political engagement around these issues by scholars using a
diverse set of analytical tools.

The events of September 11, 2001 triggered the adoption of legislation,
policies, and practices in the United States and around the world,
including Canada, the European Union, China, Russia and various African
countries. The consequences of such initiatives are relevant not only to
individuals and institutions in those countries but have broader and more
far-reaching impacts as well. In particular, such legislation, policies,
and practices have tremendous implications for such issues as access to
information, privacy, civil liberties, and intellectual freedom.

This special issue of GIQ focuses on how these recent security policies and
practices affect research, publishing and generally how information can be
used and shared in modern times. In the United States, for example, trade
embargoes have affected the scientific community through the publication
ban of authors living in embargoed countries, who are involved in certain
types of research (e.g., the use of potentially harmful materials and
technologies). In a broader sense, however, the global tightening of
information and border controls affect many spheres of society (public
sector, private sector, civil society) and have major implications for
academic and intellectual freedom, freedom of the press, civil liberties
and other democratic principles. As such these issues are of concern to
all.

For this special issue of GIQ, we seek articles that address any of the
above issues as well as related concerns such as transborder data flow,
information resource control, and professional moral and ethical issues.
Articles are sought from various perspectives, including academia,
publishing, government agencies, business sector and civil society. We also
welcome international and/or comparative articles dealing with currently
enacted or pending legislation and regulations.

Submissions should not exceed 30 double-spaced pages. The deadline for
submissions of final papers is March 31, 2005 to allow for peer review,
feedback and revisions. The anticipated publication date is early 2006. For
more information and to submit articles for review, contact:
