East-West Center Visiting Fellowships, 2000-2001
The East-West Center is an independent, non-profit institution chartered by
the U.S. Congress and located in Honolulu, Hawaii. Its broad mission is to
promote better relations and understanding between the United States and the
nations and peoples of Asia and the Pacific through cooperative study,
training, and research, and its current activities (in research, education,
and dialogue) are focused on fostering the development of an Asia Pacific
community. Center research addresses:
· development of regional, sub-regional, and national institutions for
governance;
· economic growth and development that is equitable and sustainable; and
· management of regional and sub regional problems, as well as critical
issues of common concern at the national level.
Visiting Fellowships in Conflict/Issue Resolution In the Asia Pacific Region
For 2000-2001, the East-West Center will offer up to 10 residential
fellowships to undertake research and publication. The subject area for the
2000-2001 Fellowships is conflict and issue resolution in the Asia-Pacific.
Such research can be in any one of the Center's thematic areas.* Proposals
may cover domestic or international issues. Preference will be given to
proposals dealing with issues covering more than one country and focusing on
processes of conflict and issue resolution in addition to problem analysis.
The East-West Center seeks scholars of high accomplishment and promise whose
work and presence will contribute creatively to the development of its
thematic areas and to international conflict and issue resolution in the
Asia Pacific region. Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent and must be
from the United States or an Asian or Pacific country. Preference will be
given to applications that have both strong conceptual grounding and policy
relevance.
Fellowships are awarded for two to four months and must be undertaken during
the period October 1, 2000 through September 30, 2001. Stipends will vary
with seniority and will be individually determined. Non-Hawaii residents may
receive one round-trip economy airfare. Cost-sharing fellowships are welcome.
(*The East-West Center's current thematic areas are: Asia Pacific Regional
Order; National Building and Governance; Economic Change and International
Cooperation; Reconsidering National Economic Development Strategies;
Energy and Economic Development; Urban and Transnational Air Pollution;
Ecosystems and Governance; Population, Society, and Development; Behavior
and Health.)
