*Call for Applications*
1998 ACUNS/ASIL Summer Workshop on
International Organization Studies
Yale University, 26 July - 7 August 1998
"Globalization and Global Governance:
Changing Roles for State and Non-State Actors"
*Program*
The Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS) and the
American Society of International Law (ASIL) are jointly
sponsoring the eighth in a series of summer workshops on
international organization studies to be held at Yale University
from 26 July to 7 August 1998. This workshop is designed
specifically for advanced graduate students, post-doctoral
scholars, and younger faculty.
The 1998 workshop will be directed by Keith Krause of the Graduate
Institute of International Studies, Geneva and Linda Reif of the
University of Alberta Law School.
The focus for this year's workshop is "Globalization and Global
Governance: Changing Roles for State and Non-State Actors."
The workshop will consist of presentations made by lecturers and
experts in the field, exercises and discussions focusing on
research methodologies, a seminar on teaching international
organization, and panel presentations made by participants.
The subject matter is open to participants whose analytical
perspectives are multilateral-to those who are trying to focus on
the role of state and non-state actors in the complex task of
global governance and globalization. The United Nations system is
crucial in this effort; but key insights result from how non-UN
institutions can complement UN ones in a better division of labor.
*Participants*
Participants are selected by a joint ACUNS/ASIL committee. Those
selected will be expected to submit a ten-page research draft to
an assigned workshop director in early May. Workshop directors
will subsequently make suggestions about alternative readings,
data, or arguments in order for participants to bring a more
polished version of their research to the workshop. Participants
will also submit a brief abstract prior to the workshop and make
an oral presentation during the two-week conference. It is hoped
that this workshop will provide valuable guidance in the final
development of a dissertation and/or subsequent publication.
Selected participants receive the following:
* travel stipend based on the geographic location of the
institution from which the participant applies: $1,500 for Asia or
Africa; $1,000 for Western/Eastern/Central Europe or Central/South
America; $750 for the western provinces of Canada or the western
U.S.; $500 for the central/eastern provinces of Canada or the mid-
western or south/southwestern U.S.; and $300 for participants from
the mid-Atlantic U.S. or New England;
* lodging in dormitory suites and conference meals; and
* access to computing, library, and athletic facilities.
Due to the nature of this workshop, spouses and dependents may not
accompany participants. This is not negotiable.
*Application Procedure*
International relations and legal students and scholars from
institutions in all countries are encouraged to apply. The
selection committee encourages applications from advanced graduate
students and younger legal and international relations scholars
whose research interests will inform a debate about the role of
state and non-state actors in globalization and global governance.
There is no standard application form. Applicants are required to
submit one copy of a brief (no more than 3-4 typewritten pages)
dissertation abstract or research proposal and a full curriculum
vitae. Independent evaluation is crucial for the selection
committee; therefore applicants should arrange to have at least
two letters of recommendation sent directly to the address listed
below.
Completed applications must be postmarked no later than January
30, 1998. Twenty to twenty-five participants will be selected on a
competitive basis. Applicants will be notified in the spring of
1998. Please send completed applications to:
