INTERNATIONAL POLICY FELLOWSHIPS, 2002
All applications must be submitted online at
http://www.osi.hu/ipf/apply.html by July 1, 2001
The Central European University Center for Policy Studies (CPS) is calling
for proposals for its year 2002 International Policy Fellowships (IPF)
program, which is affiliated with the CPS and the Open Society
Institute-Budapest. Broadly speaking, an open society is characterized by a
reliance on the rule of law, the existence of a democratically elected
government, a diverse and vigorous civil society, and respect for minorities
and minority opinions. Launched in late 1999, the CPS works with a
broadening circle of policy analysts and institutions to promote the
development of policy center networks throughout Central and Eastern Europe,
the former Soviet Union, and Mongolia, as well as countries in South and
Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. The Center undertakes
policy research and advocacy that furthers the open society mission and
disseminates quality analyses in accessible formats.
The CPS International Policy Fellowships are intended to support the
analytical policy research of open society leaders and to provide these
Fellows with professional policy training. The program aims to improve the
quality of analysis in countries where the Soros foundations work by
ensuring that these leaders are able to conduct research in their home
region while maintaining local affiliations and a high degree of mobility
and intellectual freedom. Fellows participate in four training seminars in
Budapest over the course of the fellowship year conducted by professors of
public policy from around the world and gain vital skills including how to
write professional policy documents, identify appropriate policy
instruments, and effectively advocate policies-skills that are
underdeveloped in countries where the Soros foundations work. Good policy
analysis is characterized by elements including a reliance on
well-researched data; comprehensive, non-ideological assessment of relevant
factors and options; explicitly stated criteria for assessing options;
consideration of the interests and groups affected; and the clear
presentation of feasible recommendations for action as well as how these
recommendations should be communicated and implemented.
Outstanding Fellows from Eastern Europe may be nominated to participate in
additional training and research opportunities including a three-month
International Junior Public Policy Scholar Fellowship in Washington, D.C. in
affiliation with the Woodrow Wilson Center's East European Studies program.
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the United States'
official memorial to President Wilson, was established by congressional
legislation in 1968. Meant to reflect and continue Woodrow Wilson's
commitment to a deeper understanding of issues crucial to global peace and
stability, the Center serves as an international, interdisciplinary,
non-partisan scholarly institute which fosters scholarship in the humanities
and social sciences and encourages dialogue between the academic and policy
communities. East European Studies, housed at the Woodrow Wilson Center,
provides a non-partisan forum for bringing historical and contemporary
understanding of the former communist states of Eastern Europe and the
Baltics to the nation's capital and throughout the country. For more details
on the Wilson Center and its East European Studies program, please see
further details in the online version of this announcement and visit the
Center's website at www.wilsoncenter.org.
Applicants are encouraged to submit individual, practical and
policy-oriented research proposals in the following subject areas. The
product of each fellowship will be a detailed analysis of a major issue to
be published in English and translated into other languages:
Fellowship Issue Areas
The Public Policy Process
The Impact of European Union Expansion on Non-Accession Countries
Policies to Promote Criminal Justice Reform and the Rule of Law
Conflict Prevention in Southeast Europe
The Role of Universities in Social Transformation
Primary and Secondary Education Reform Policy

Children's Services Policy
Cultural Policy

Terms of the International Policy Fellowship Award
Fellows will be provided with a one-year stipend, expenses including travel,
and needed communications equipment to work full-time on research of their
design in one of the above areas. The amount of the award will vary
depending on standards in the Fellow's country of residence and the
budgetary needs of the proposal.
To Apply: Application Requirements and Procedures
All initial queries must be entered online via the Internet directly into
the IPF application database found at http://www.osi.hu/ipf/apply.html.

e-mail to fellows@osi.hu or call the IPF offices at (36 1) 327-3863 to

WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS
The Center awards approximately 20-25 fellowships annually in an
international competition. Successful fellowship applicants submit
outstanding proposals in a broad range of the social sciences and humanities
on national and/or international issuesеtopics that intersect with questions
of public policy or provide the historical framework to illumine policy
issues of contemporary importance. Fellows should be prepared to interact
with policymakers in Washington and with Wilson Center staff who are working
on similar topics.
Eligibility
Applications from any country are welcome. Men and women with outstanding
capabilities and experience from a wide variety of backgrounds (including
government, the corporate world, and the professions, as well as academia
are eligible for appointment. For academic participants, eligibility is
limited to the postdoctoral level. Normally it is expected that academic
candidates will have demonstrated their scholarly development by
publications beyond the Ph.D. dissertation. For other applicants, an
equivalent level of professional achievement is expected. Applicants should
have a very good command of spoken English, since the Center is designed to
encourage the exchange of ideas among its Fellows.
Themes
The Woodrow Wilson Center devotes significant attention to the exploration
of broad thematic areas. Primary themes are:
1.governance, including such issues as the key features of the development
of democratic institutions, democratic society, civil society, and citizen
participation.
2.the U.S. role in the world and issues of partnership and leadership.
3.key long-term future challenges confronting the United States and the
world.
Priority will be given to proposals related to these themes. Within this
framework, the Center also supports projects that provide the historical
context for some of today's key public policy debates.
Length of Appointment
In order to foster a true community of scholars, the Woodrow Wilson Center
expects its Fellows to be in residence for the entire U.S. academic year
(September through May, i.e. 9 months), although a few fellowships are
occasionally awarded for shorter periods, with a minimum of four months.
Stipend
In general, the Center tries to ensure that the stipend provided under the
fellowship, together with the Fellow's other sources of funding (e.g.,
grants secured by the applicant and sabbatical allowances), approximate a
Fellow's regular salary. Stipends provided in 2000 ranged from $20,000 to
$60,000. In 2001-2002, the Center expects to be able to award a few
fellowships at a higher stipend level, up to a maximum of $85,000.
Affiliation at the Center
Fellows in residence will be affiliated with one of the Center's regional
programs, which include the United States Studies Division and programs on
Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Russia and the
former Soviet Union, and Western Europe, or with one of the Center's
programs grouped in the International Studies Division, such as the Cold War
History Project, the Environmental Change and Security Project, the Conflict
Prevention Project, the Non-Proliferation Forum, and the Future Issues
Initiative.
