fellows must be fluent in English.

Research proposal areas

Fellowship proposals must show a clear linkage to one of the Carnegie
Council's ongoing research themes:

1) Human Rights
http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/programs/callfellows.html#human rights

In line with the goals of the Council's Human Rights Initiative
(http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/themes/humanrights.html), we are seeking
applicants in the field of human rights to carry out field-based research
that examines existing levels of public legitimacy for a specific human
rights concern and/or how to enhance public legitimacy for that concern.
Research projects may involve an examination of the development of local
norms -- in particular, how local norms are influenced by international
norms and the international human rights movement.

Applications from individuals based in non-Western and developing
countries are particularly encouraged. Applicants should be a national of,
or have long-term experience in, the country of research as well as local
language fluency.

2) Environmental Values
http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/programs/callfellows.html#environment

Fellowship applicants should address one of two potential areas: 
1. environmental values and policy-making 
2. international environmental justice 

When devising proposals related to environmental values, applicants should
refer to the Council's project "Understanding Values: A Comparative Study
of Values in Environmental Policy Making in China, India, Japan and the
United States" (http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/themes/environment.html).
In the area of international environmental justice, the program is
interested in theoretical and empirical projects on the application of the
concept of international environmental justice and the expansion
internationally of the environmental justice movement.

3) The Future of Conflict Prevention
http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/programs/callfellows.html#conflict
 
Applicants should be scholars or practitioners involved in research or
analysis related to the field of international conflict prevention.
Research topics should demonstrate a familiarity with emerging literature
and theory on conflict prevention and should be focused on a particular
region or country that is in, or has experienced, deadly conflict in the
last ten years. Examples of potential project themes are:

1. A critical examination of existing strategies and tools of conflict
prevention, such as economic sanctions, Track II diplomacy, and/or
targeted development aid.
2. An exploration of new or emerging approaches to the prevention of
deadly conflict.
3. An analysis of the role of international actors in a deadly conflict.
4. A study of the relationship between local and international actors in
regions affected by conflict.

New approaches and perspectives on conflict prevention are also welcome,
in line with the goals of the Council's Conflict Prevention Program
(http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/themes/conflictprev.html).

4) Justice and the World Economy
http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/programs/callfellows.html#justice
 
Applicants interested in justice and the world economy might develop a
project to explore one or more of the following:
1. the normative dimensions of globalization. 
2. the changes wrought by globalization on any key economic and political
actor with regard to notions of justice and/or responsibility.
3. new definitions of (and practices in) the public and private spheres as
they related to global economic policy.
4. more specifically, the effect of globalization on multinationals and
their involvement in public-private partnerships and corporate voluntary
initiatives.

Accordingly, applicants should be in a position to assess globalization
and its relationship to pressing concerns in society, whether from the
inside -- as policy-makers, activists, business people, or journalists --
or from the outside (as social scientists). New geographic, gender, and/or
professional perspectives, in line with the aims of the Council's program
on Justice and the World Economy
(http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/themes/justice.html), are especially
welcome.

5) History and the Politics of Reconciliation
http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/programs/callfellows.html#history

Applicants in the field of reconciliation should be actively involved in
research and analysis of how societies come to terms with past injustices
and how long-term reconciliation among former enemies (within or among
nations and faiths) can be promoted. Their research topics should be
relevant to the concerns of the Council's Project on History and the
Politics of Reconciliation
(http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/themes/histrecintro.html).

Examples of such topics include: 
1. the ethical dilemmas faced when reckoning with the past. 
2. the role of public education in examining a difficult history and
promoting reconciliation, including education through schools and museums.
3. the roles of different actors in promoting reconciliation, including
the state, religious organizations, civil society organization,
international organizations.
4. the national and international politics of history textbooks and places
of commemoration.  Specific case studies may also be considered.
