CALL FOR PROPOSALS
CENTER FOR POLICY STUDIES
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.
