Book Review: Balkan Strongmen. Dictators and Authoritarian, Rulers of Southeast Europe
Fischer, Bernd (Hrsg.): Balkan Strongmen. Dictators and Authoritarian Rulers of Southeast Europe (= Central European Studies). West Lafayette, Ind.: Purdue University Press 2007. ISBN 978-1-55753- 455-2; 504 S.; EUR 59,99.
Rezensiert für H-Soz-u-Kult von:
Radu Harald Dinu, Max-Weber-Kolleg für kultur- und
sozialwissenschaftl iche Studien, Universität Erfurt
E-Mail:
Das 20. Jahrhundert wurde durch eine Reihe autoritärer Machthaber und Diktatoren geprägt, deren politisches Erbe heutzutage in höchst unterschiedlichem Maße erinnert wird. Lenkt man den Blick auf den südosteuropäischen Raum, so würden – zumindest von einer breiten Öffentlichkeit im Westen – zuallererst Despoten wie Nicolae Ceausescu
und Slobodan Miloševic genannt werden, die durch ihre kommunistischen bzw. nationalistischen Exzesse das Image vom Balkan als viel beschworenem Sorgenkind Europas zu bestätigen scheinen.
Die zwölf Autoren des vorliegenden Sammelbandes haben sich vorgenommen, jenseits altbekannter Stereotype und Schwarz-Weiß- Malereien die repräsentativsten „Balkan strongmen“ des 20. Jahrhunderts, ihr soziales Umfeld und ihre Herrschaftsformen vorzustellen, um, wie der Herausgeber betont, den Balkan in seiner Komplexität erklärbar machen zu können. Mit seinen insgesamt 13 Beiträgen, die im Verhältnis sieben zu sechs in zwei Blöcken (Zwischen- und Nachkriegszeit) gegliedert sind, zeigt der Band ein reichhaltiges Panorama autoritärer Herrschaftsformen in
Südosteuropa.
Die einzelnen Aufsätze orientieren sich meist an den herkömmlichen Ereignisgeschichten der jeweiligen Länder die in unterschiedlichem Maße mit den Kurzbiographien der Protagonisten narrativ verschränkt werden. Wer also eine theoretisch fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit Topoi wie Charisma, Patrimonialismus oder Autoritarismus erwartet, wird hier sicherlich nicht fündig. Eine Ausnahme bildet lediglich Maria Bucurs Beitrag zur Königsdiktatur Carols II. in Rumänien. Die Autorin rekurriert dabei auf das Rational-Choice- Modell des kanadischen Ökonomen Ronald Wintrobe, welches zwischen vier Diktatur-Typen (totalitarian, tinpot, tyrant, timocrat) unterscheidet. [1] Die Königsdiktatur Carols II. entsprach, so Bucur, am
ehesten einer „tinpot dictatorship“ . Was die übrigen Machthaber betrifft, so der Herausgeber im Einführungskapitel, könnten diese ebenfalls den oben genannten Kategorien zugeordnet werden.
Überraschenderweise knüpft jedoch außer Bucur keiner der Beitragenden an Wintrobes Modell an. Das Fehlen eines dezidiert theoretischen Zugangs ist jedoch kein Manko. Die Aufsatzsammlung richtet sich vor allem an ein breites Publikum und kann aufgrund ihres überblicksartigen Charakters als gelungene historische Einführung bezeichnet werden.
Begrüßenswert sind vor allem jene Aufsätze, die dem (westlichen) Leser eher exotisch anmutende Gewalthaber wie König Zogu näher bringen und damit eine willkommene Einführung zur nach wie vor marginal beachteten Geschichte Albaniens anbieten. Bernd J. Fischer, der bereits verschiedene grundlegende Arbeiten zu diesem Thema vorgelegt hat [2], gehört zu den profiliertesten Albanien-Kennern im englischsprachigen Bereich. Um den Aufstieg von Ahmed Zogu zum Premier (1922), Präsidenten (1925) und schließlich zum König von Albanien (1928) zu veranschaulichen, legt Fischer besonderes Gewicht auf die Instabilität des jungen Staates, die vor allem auf die von Stammesfehden gekennzeichnete politische Kultur und auf die heterogene
Bevölkerungsstruktur des Landes zurückzuführen sei.
Zogu habe verstanden, dass das von den Großmächten favorisierte parlamentarische
System von 1912 kaum den albanischen Lebenswirklichkeite n entsprach. Nach der gewaltsamen Unterwerfung seiner nördlichen Stammesrivalen, die ihm unter anderem mangelnden Irredentismus in der Kosovo-Frage vorhielten, errichtete er eine autoritäre Königsdiktatur die er bis zum Einmarsch der Italiener im April 1939 aufrechterhalten konnte. Sieht man von der schonungslosen Unterdrückung politischer Gegner ab, besteht für Fischer eine der „Errungenschaften“ Zogus darin, zum ersten Mal in Albanien so etwas wie ein staatliches Gewaltmonopol etabliert und damit
gewohnheitsrechtlic he Praktiken wie Blutrache unterbunden zu haben.
Die Entscheidung Kemal Atatürk in die Reihe südosteuropäischer Herrscherpersö nlichkeiten aufzunehmen, scheint auf den ersten Blick etwas überraschend zu sein. Mustafa Kemal fühlte sich jedoch in vielerlei Hinsicht dem Balkan verbunden wie Feroz Ahmad in seinem Beitrag betont, etwa durch seine Geburtsstadt Saloniki, seiner Teilnahme an den Balkankriegen von 1912/13 oder dem Beitritt seines Landes zur
Balkanentente. Etwas undurchsichtig werden Ahmads Ausführungen nur, wenn er zunächst hervorhebt „[that] Atatürk introduced laicism (laiklik) and not secularism“ (S. 155) und anschließend wieder beide Begriffe synonym benutzt. Zweifel kommen auch bei der Lektüre seiner allzu wohlwollenden Darstellung der kemalistischen Herrschaftspraxis auf. Wenn es stimmt, dass Atatürks Nationalismus nie exklusiv war – der Autor bedient sich dafür eines denkbar ungünstigen Ausspruchs Atatürks: „Happy is he who
calls himself a Turk“ (S. 158) – dann mag man sich schon fragen, was Atatürk für die restlichen Nationalitäten seines Landes bereithielt. Die gewaltsamen Offensiven, vor allem gegen die kurdische Bevölkerung, werden jedenfalls großzügig ausgespart.
Im letzten Aufsatz des ersten Teils skizziert John K. Cox das politische Umfeld Ante Pavelics, also jenes Mannes, der das Attentat auf König Aleksandar in Marseille mit zu verantworten hatte und im April 1941 die Führung des „Unabhängigen Staates Kroatien“ (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska - NDH) von Hitlers Gnaden übernahm. Cox’ Ausführungen bilden einen konzisen Überblick über die wichtigsten Entwicklungslinien im NDH. Lediglich ein Aspekt hätte zumindest problematisiert werden müssen: Der
Begriff „Genozid“ scheint wenig dazu geeignet zu sein, das Schicksal der Serben gleichsam in einem Atemzug mit dem der Juden und Roma im NDH zu behandeln. Die Ustaša-Führung hatte keine festen Zielsetzungen für eine „Lösung“ der „serbischen Frage“. Anders als im Falle der Juden und Roma, deren Vernichtung auf rassischen „Blutschutzgesetzen“ beruhte, wurden Serben als potentiell assimilationsfä hig betrachtet. Der Autor widerspricht sich selbst, wenn er die viel zitierte, jedoch nicht belegbare Aussage des NDH-Kultusministers Mile Budak anführt, „einen Teil der Serben zu töten, einen anderen zu deportieren und den Rest zum Katholizismus zu bekehren“, und im Anschluss betont, dass die NDH-Führung die Absicht gehabt hätte „to eliminate the entire Serbian population“ (S. 224).
Aus dem zweiten Teil zur Nachkriegszeit, der sich bis auf den Beitrag zur Militärdiktatur Georgios Papadopoulos’ mit den kommunistischen Machthabern Südosteuropas auseinandersetzt, sind vor allem zwei Aufsätze positiv hervorzuheben. Unter dem Motto „strongmen can be beneficial“ gelingt es John V.A. Fine überzeugend darzulegen, welche Faktoren zur „Erfolgsgeschichte“ Josip Broz Titos beigetragen haben und ihn in vielerlei Hinsicht als historischen Sonderfall erscheinen lassen. Seine vergleichsweise liberale Herrschaft könne aber nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen, dass die von seiner Führungsspitze initiierte Verfassungsreform von 1974 und die damit verbundene Dezentralisierung ungewollt in eine Systemblockade mündete, die der Autor als eine der Ursachen für den späteren Zerfall Jugoslawiens deutet.
Zum Abschluss erwartet den Leser einer der besten Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes. Lenard J. Cohen, der bereits eine viel gepriesene Monographie zur Miloševic-Ära vorgelegt hat [3], gelingt es nicht nur ein bestechendes psychologisches Portrait Slobodan Miloševics zu zeichnen, sondern zugleich fundiert auf die kontinuierliche Ethnisierung des öffentlichen Lebens einzugehen, die seit der initiatorischen
Gazimestan-Rede Miloševics im Juni 1989 die serbische Gesellschaft durchzog. Im krassen Gegensatz zur Lebensführung seines Sohnes Marko, der sich in den 1990er-Jahren als Nachtklub-Tycoon und Sportwagenfahrer einen Namen machte, gab sich Miloševic als bescheidener und reservierter Staatsmann, was viele seiner Landsleute als Ausweis seines „heroischen Potentials“ und Charismas deuteten.
Auch wenn sozialtheoretische Reflexionen oder gar vergleichende Aspekte den Ertrag der hier versammelten Beiträge deutlich gesteigert hätten, bietet der vorliegende Sammelband einen grundlegenden und verständlichen Überblick über die „Balkan strongmen“ des 20. Jahrhunderts, der interessierten Lesern nur empfohlen werden kann.

CfP: Student Conference, Faculty of Political Science, University of Bucharest, Romania
Call for Proposals -- Student Conference:
Cultural and Political Developments during the Socialist Regime in the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe
Conference date: 24-26 April 2009
Organizing Institution: Faculty of Political Science, University of Bucharest,Romania
Deadline for submitting the abstract via e-mail: the 10th of March 2009
Website - http://fspubconference2009.wordpress.com/
The shape taken by the opposition against the state structures or the submission towards the Socialist Regime has varied across Central and Eastern Europe. The definition given to the concept of "new man" presents a series of relevant differences. In addition, the profile of the individual behavior gets further complicated due to the presence of a double identity: an official and a private dimension. Under these circumstances, various questions arise: what kind of "new man" is born in each state? Which are the faces of the opposition, up to which point do people adhere to the social norms, how does the civil society react and act?
The revolutionary wave that we faced in the late '80 has generated important social, political, cultural and economic changes, as diverse as the manifestation of Socialism in Central and Eastern Europe. It is equally important to study and analyze the "transition" period and the successive transformations, bearing in mind the cross- regime tendencies. Are the new institutions and political customs "re-founded" after 1989, as Stark (1996) noticed, not "on the ruins, but with the ruins of communism"?
The event addresses the students currently enrolled in the advanced years of study for a Bachelor degree, as well as the ones attending a Master programme. We invite participants from the field of Social Sciences and Humanities: Political Science, Ethnology, Law, Sociology, Economics, Journalism. The conference will take place at the Institute for Political Research, 8 Spiru Haret str., 010175, Bucharest 1,
Romania.
We are particularly interested in the papers that might generate starting points for an interdisciplinary dialogue regarding the fallowing aspects:
- Popular and Official Culture under the Socialist Regime;
- Projects of Social Change in the Socialist Society;
- Practices on the Socialist Political Scene;
- The Effects of the Political and Cultural Socialism on the Contemporary World.

New Book: The Greek Media in World War I and its Aftermath
Dear members,
I would like to inform you about the publication of my new book:
Georgia EGLEZOU, The Greek Media in World War I and its Aftermath: The Athenian Press on the Asia Minor Crisis
Book details
Hardcover: 288 pages
Publisher: I B Tauris & Co Ltd (5 Feb 2009)
Language English
ISBN-10: 1845117875
ISBN-13: 978-1845117870
Book Dimensions: 21.8 x 14.4 x 2.8 cm
Summary
The Asia Minor Campaign remains one of the most disastrous episodes of modern Greek history. The retreat of the Greek army after being routed by Turkish nationalist forces in Anatolia in 1922 was a catastrophic event. Yet, as this study of Athenian newspapers from 1919 to 1922 makes apparent, the bulk of the Greek press created the illusion that all was well at the front and hid the reality of impending disaster. Here Eglezou presents these familiar events through a dramatic new perspective: the role and content of the Athenian press as a means of propaganda. The reporting of the pro- and anti-government press is closely rendered to provide fascinating insights into why a delusory policy was pursued to the bitter end. With a comprehensive account of the Campaign, Eglezou adds a new dimension to our understanding of the history of modern Greece, as well as the relationship between the press and politics more generally.

Dabei geht es uns um Herangehensweisen, Potentiale und neue Perspektiven. Wir möchten das Zurückbleiben in der historischen Migrationsforschung ebenso diskutieren, wie die Verschränkung von Mikro-und Makroebene oder die Auswirkungen von Fluchtmigration auf das
Selbstverständnis von Flüchtlingen. Welche Zugangsweisen erscheinen hier vielversprechend, welche Erkenntnisschwierig keiten können ausgemacht werden? Welches sind überhaupt die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Migrationsbegriffs? Ist
historische Migrationsforschung eine Legitimationswissen schaft und wie könnte eine delegitimierende Migrationsforschung aussehen und betrieben werden?

CfP: "Bridging Divides: European Peace Architecture of Integration and Engagement
BRIDGING DIVIDES: EUROPEAN PEACE ARCHITECTURE OF INTEGRATION AND ENGAGEMENT
6th EuPRA bi-annual Congress, 23-25 July 2009, TIRANA
European Peace Research Association (EuPRA), the European affiliate of International Peace Research Association (IPRA) in cooperation with Faculty of Social Sciences, European University of Tirana, Albania is currently accepting submissions for its 6th bi-annual Congress to take place on 23-25 July 2009.
Historically, Europe has experienced splits and divisions that have created its unique and shared history and culture. As to Western Europe, it is evident that the process of integration that was initiated in economic terms, found its political momentum after 1989 with the unification of Germany, the dismantling of the Warsaw Pact and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. The integration that extended eastwards is evident not only in figures but also in political terms. However, the future of an integrated Europe and its identity face two challenges: the future of EU institutions and functioning, and the issue of enlargement towards
Southeast Europe. The conference aims at promoting discussion of both strategic and ethical questions surrounding issues of peace, integration, security, and justice, while committed to balanced discussions of diverse perspectives on division and engagement. We are most interested in the cultural and political issues surrounding
peace and integration occurring between nations and peoples. We invite papers on topics such as war, peace, global cooperation, domestic violence, and interpersonal conflict resolution; including questions of military and political security, the global and European economy, and global and European environmental issues.
Submissions are welcome from political and social sciences, and related disciplines. Our intentions are to welcome scholars from a wide range of interests within the academic community and educated members of the larger public. Doctoral students are also invited to submit proposals for papers to be delivered at the conference. Papers should be intended for a wide scholarship, though following academic standards in quality and style. Original papers presented at the Congress will be published.

2009 represents a crucial year which is testing our ability to deal with substantial political and economic challenges. Bringing a continuation of the economic crisis, the deepening of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a new American administration, and a severe energy crisis for several of the EU members, this period is proves to be a problematic reality check for our policies and theories. Reality proves to be one more time ahead of scholars€ ’² conceptualizations, politicians€ ’² capabilities, and policy-makers€ ’² solutions. With the many challenges ahead, we hope to generate interdisciplinary academic debates that tackle relevant topics in their fields of research. At the same time, we hope to connect different perspectives and approaches in order to produce high standard academic works.
We encourage graduate students and young faculty to contribute with papers and panel proposals on multiple topics. Details available at www.ceu.hu/polscijo urnal. The working language of the conference is English.
Financial support: There is no registration fee for qualified participants. Food and
accommodation are provided by the organizers. Applicants can apply for
a partial travel grant for the cheapest means of transportation. Those
intending to apply for a travel grant should write a short letter of
justification (up to 300 words).
We particularly welcome panels proposed by scholars coming from different institutions. A panel can be proposed using the special panel form and should be accompanied by the titles and abstracts (maximum 300 words) of five papers included in the panel.
Deadlines:
- The deadline for panel proposals is April 1, 2009.
- The deadline for paper proposals is April 15, 2009.
- Accepted applicants will be notified by April 30, 2008.

PhD position in Mathematics at Vilnius Univ, Lithuania
One full-time PhD position is available at Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, Vilnius University (Lithuania) in the framework of Marie Curie Network SAGA (ShApes, Geometry, and Algebra).
Topic: Mathematics of surfaces with applications to geometric modeling.
Possible project examples:
Improved blends between primitive surfaces
The majority of mechanical parts in CAD have a boundary representation that combines planes and primitive surfaces (like sphere, circular cylinder/cone or torus) with smooth blends between them. Usually these constructions are only approximate, and the resulting blends are NURBS surfaces with gaps along boundaries. The project goal is to construct new efficient smooth blends between primitive surfaces of reasonable parameterization degree that have no gaps on the boundaries. The results should be possible to integrate into industrial CAD systems.
Fair surfacing constructions: filling multisided holes
Current CAD technology is essentially based on NURBS. The natural modeling process of smooth surfaces with complicated topology usually generates NURBS with n-sided holes (n not equal to 4). Several methods were proposed for fair filling of such holes using rational patches or special polynomial patchworks. The goal is to find structural representation of such constructions. This may lead to new kind of splines naturally extending NURBS, and that can represent/approxima te surfaces of arbitrary topology.
Qualifications
Degree: A Bachelor's or equivalent 4-year degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field is required: it must have been obtained within 4 years from the start date of the PhD. Possessing also a Master's degree in a relevant field is an advantage. Nationality: The candidate cannot be of Lithuanian nationality, and
cannot have resided or worked in Lithuania for more than a year during the 3 years before the PhD start date. Languages: Fluency in English is required. Other languages would be an advantage.
Financial support
Gross salary of about 2380 Euro per month (1400 Euro net), or about 2590 Euro (1520 Euro net) if married (family not necessary comes together). Travel allowance to/from country of residence, support for travelling related to the PhD etc.
Dates and application procedure
Start date: anytime till November, 2009, for 3 years; one semester will be spent in another SAGA partner.
Application deadline: the earlier the better.
Application procedure: Email your complete CV to rimvydas (DOT) krasauskas (ETA) mif.vu.lt, including relevant courses with grades, your Bachelor's/Master' s thesis, any academic publications, and names/addresses of professors who may provide recommendations.

Usually these constructions are only approximate, and the resulting blends are NURBS surfaces with gaps along boundaries. The project goal is to construct new efficient smooth blends between primitive surfaces of reasonable parameterization degree that have no gaps on the boundaries. The results should be possible to integrate into industrial CAD systems.
Fair surfacing constructions: filling multisided holes
Current CAD technology is essentially based on NURBS. The natural modeling process of smooth surfaces with complicated topology usually generates NURBS with n-sided holes (n not equal to 4). Several methods were proposed for fair filling of such holes using rational patches or special polynomial patchworks. The goal is to find structural representation of such constructions. This may lead to new kind of splines naturally extending NURBS, and that can represent/approxima te surfaces of arbitrary topology.
Qualifications
Degree: A Bachelor's or equivalent 4-year degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field is required: it must have been obtained within 4 years from the start date of the PhD. Possessing also a Master's degree in a relevant field is an advantage. Nationality: The candidate cannot be of Lithuanian nationality, and
cannot have resided or worked in Lithuania for more than a year during the 3 years before the PhD start date. Languages: Fluency in English is required. Other languages would be an advantage.
Financial support
Gross salary of about 2380 Euro per month (1400 Euro net), or about 2590 Euro (1520 Euro net) if married (family not necessary comes together). Travel allowance to/from country of residence, support for travelling related to the PhD etc.
Dates and application procedure
Start date: anytime till November, 2009, for 3 years; one semester will be spent in another SAGA partner.
Application deadline: the earlier the better.
Application procedure: Email your complete CV to rimvydas (DOT) krasauskas (ETA) mif.vu.lt, including relevant courses with grades, your Bachelor's/Master' s thesis, any academic publications, and names/addresses of professors who may provide recommendations.

PhD positions, Biological Sciences, Cross Talk Project, Europe
The Cross Talk project is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, that brings together 8 academic participants, 2 industrial partners and 3 associated partners. Their association promotes complementarities of expertise in several scientific research fields, supporting an early-stage training program.
Cross Talk has the overall objective to achieve major breakthroughs in the understanding of the mechanisms underlying the dialogue between the intestinal microbiota and hosts. To reach this aim,Cross Talk will:
• Decipher the molecular mechanisms involved in the microbiota-host recognition
• Reveal how the bacterial signals are integrated by the different players of the mucosal immune system
• Validate the cross-talk mechanisms identified in the previously described steps in vivo. The expected outputs are new knowledge and applications for the food and drugs industry.
Cross Talk aims to rise a new generation of young scientists, well trained to sustain the emergence of metagenomics, a new supra-discipline calling for competencies in microbiology, cell biology, immunology, human physiology, high throughput technologies and bioinformatics. In this respect, Cross Talk will provide individual training through research projects and organize network meetings,
spring schools and workshops.

Applications for this post are especially welcome from women and ethnic minorities, who are under-represented among the University's academic staff (section 38 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and section 48 of the Race Relations Act 1976 apply).
This Fellowship is offered jointly by the Faculty of Philosophy and the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology, and Phonetics. The successful candidate must have obtained his or her doctorate by 1 October 2009, and should not normally have completed it earlier than 1 October 2005. He or she will have a proven track record of research in the area of Semantics, and will demonstrate potential for producing outstanding research in this area within the period of the Fellowship.
Postdoctoral Fellows are offered the opportunity to develop their expertise in both research and teaching. They will also have an academic mentor as well as a personalised career and professional development package, including the opportunity to undertake the University's Postgraduate Diploma in Learning and Teaching.
Further particulars, including details of how to apply, can be obtained from the Faculty websites (http://www.philosop hy.ox.ac. uk and http://www.ling- phil.ox.ac. uk).

New B.A. in Value Studies
Applications are now invited for the new B.A. programme in Value Studies at the European College of Liberal Arts (Berlin, Germany). This is the first interdisciplinary degree programme worldwide to be structured around the concept of value. ECLA is a college without departments, where students work with faculty from different backgrounds on moral, political, epistemic, religious, and aesthetic questions, with the understanding that such questions are naturally and deeply connected.
The B.A. programme is designed for students with a strong theoretical bent, who want to combine their pursuit of special interests with a demanding /studium generale/. Available areas of concentration are /Art and Aesthetics/, /Ethics and Political Theory,/ and /Literature and Rhetoric/. The programme provides good preparation for continued study in fields such as philosophy, literature, political theory, and art
history; and excellent support for students interested in careers in politics, organizational work, public policy, law, journalism, or the art world.
ECLA students and faculty come from all over the world and work together in English. Students live together on a green campus in a residential district of Berlin. *Financial Aid is need-based. **The awards vary widely and aim to cover the full amount of demonstrated need toward the ECLA comprehensive fee.** *Deadline for applications: *30 April 2009*. Classes begin in October. To learn more, visit www.ecla.de
For admissions enquiries send an email to admissions@ecla. de
*Montaigne and the Making of the Modern Self*
The International Summer University at ECLA, Berlin will take place between *6 July and 14 August 2009.*
During the six week programme, students and faculty will explore how a new image of the modern self emerges from Montaigne's /Essays/ and investigate the impact of Montaigne's moral, religious, cultural and political ideals on our understanding of the modern self. Each week, readings and discussion will be organized around a general topic related to Montaigne's //Essays//, including the birth of the modern self in Renaissance Europe, the discovery of the New World and its consequences
for the self-understanding of European cultures, Montaigne's criticism of human presumption and pride as root causes of the Wars of Religion in 16^th century France, the relation between morality and politics in modern statecraft, and the place of pleasure, friendship and sexuality as well as death in the care of the self. Along with Montaigne's/ Essays, /students will study a variety of philosophical, literary, and historical texts, including Shakespeare' s /The Tempest/, Machiavelli' s /The Prince/, Nietzsche's /On the Genealogy of Morals/, Dostoevsky's /Notes from Underground/ , Camus' /The Fall/, and Plato's /Apology/.
Films and museum visits will complement the readings.
Deadline for applications: *16 April 2009*. To learn more, visit www.ecla.de

*Open to*: students from Rusia, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, China, India, Indonesia, Philipines, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, South Africa, Egypt, Palestine
*
***
The International Fellowships Program (IFP) provides opportunities for advanced study to exceptional individuals who will use this education to become leaders in their respective fields, furthering development in their own countries and greater economic and social justice worldwide. To ensure that Fellows are drawn from more diverse backgrounds than ever before, IFP will actively recruit candidates from social groups and communities that lack systematic access to higher education.
IFP is the largest single program ever supported by the Ford Foundation. By investing $280 million over ten years through 2010, the Foundation intends to build on its half century of support for higher education. Foundation programs have long promoted the highest educational standards and achievement. Ford fellowship recipients have become leaders in institutions around the world and have helped build global knowledge in fields ranging across the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities and arts. IFP draws on this tradition and underscores the Foundation's belief that education enables people to improve their own lives as well as to assist others in the common pursuit of more equitable and just societies.
*General Guidelines*
The International Fellowships Program provides support for up to three years of formal graduate-level study. Fellows will be selected from countries in Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Russia where the Foundation maintains active overseas programs. U.S. nationals are not eligible, although Fellows may study in the United States.
Fellows are chosen on the basis of their leadership potential and commitment to community or national service as well as for academic excellence. Fellows may enroll in master's or doctoral programs and may pursue any academic discipline or field of study that is consistent with the interests and goals of the Ford Foundation. The Foundation currently works in fifteen fields to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement.
Once selected, Fellows may enroll in universities in any part of the world, including their country of residence. The program will provide placement assistance to those Fellows not yet admitted to graduate school.
IFP support will enable Fellows to undertake language study and training in research and computer skills prior to graduate school enrollment. New Fellows will attend orientation sessions, and current Fellows may participate in learning and discussion activities designed to create information and exchange networks. Finally, the program provides resources for Fellows to conduct research or projects in their home countries after completing the fellowship period.
*Who Is Eligible?*
Applicants must be resident nationals or residents of an eligible IFP country.
In addition, successful candidates will:
· Demonstrate superior achievement in their undergraduate studies and hold a
baccalaureate degree or its equivalent.
· Have substantial experience in community service or development- related activities.
· Possess leadership potential evidenced by their employment and academic experience.
· Propose to pursue a post-baccalaureate degree that will directly enhance their leadership capacity in a practical, policy, academic, or artistic discipline or field corresponding to one or more of the Foundation's areas of endeavor.
· Present a plan specifying how they will apply their studies to social problems or issues in their own countries. Commit themselves to working on these issues following the fellowship period. IFP selects Fellows on the strength of their clearly-stated intention to serve their communities and countries of origin, and expects that they will honor this obligation.

The International Fellowships Program (IFP) provides opportunities for advanced study to exceptional individuals who will use this education to become leaders in their respective fields, furthering development in their own countries and greater economic and social justice worldwide. To ensure that Fellows are drawn from more diverse backgrounds than ever before, IFP will actively recruit candidates from social groups and communities that lack systematic access to higher education.
IFP is the largest single program ever supported by the Ford Foundation. By investing $280 million over ten years through 2010, the Foundation intends to build on its half century of support for higher education. Foundation programs have long promoted the highest educational standards and achievement. Ford fellowship recipients have become leaders in institutions around the world and have helped build global knowledge in fields ranging across the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities and arts. IFP draws on this tradition and underscores the Foundation's belief that education enables people to improve their own lives as well as to assist others in the common pursuit of more equitable and just societies.
*General Guidelines*
The International Fellowships Program provides support for up to three years of formal graduate-level study. Fellows will be selected from countries in Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and Russia where the Foundation maintains active overseas programs. U.S. nationals are not eligible, although Fellows may study in the United States.
Fellows are chosen on the basis of their leadership potential and commitment to community or national service as well as for academic excellence. Fellows may enroll in master's or doctoral programs and may pursue any academic discipline or field of study that is consistent with the interests and goals of the Ford Foundation. The Foundation currently works in fifteen fields to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement.

COP15 Climate Scholarship
COP 15 Climate Scolarship for masterstudenter
Back Published by TN, Info fra (UIS)
Date 12. February 2009
C I R C U L A R N O T E
The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has the honour to inform that the Danish Government has established a COP15 Climate Scholarship from which 10-12 grants will be given to foreign students pursuing climate related master's degree programmes at Danish universities. The grants cover travel expenses, tuition and living costs. For more details about conditions, deadlines and the contents of the study programmes please see www.studyindenmark. dk/climate.
The COP15 Climate Scholarship is financed by funds saved pursuant to the Danish Government's decision not to give any gifts or conference kits to participants at the COP15 Climate Conference in Copenhagen. This decision was taken to minimize the environmental impact of the conference and to secure optimal use of resources.
The Diplomatic Missions are kindly requested to convey information about the COP15 Climate Scholarship to relevant authorities and institutions in drawing attention to the early deadline of March 1 2009 for applying for some of the programmes.
For further inquiries please contact Nis Gellert (+45 33920277).
