The Institute for the Study of World Politics was established to promote scholarly examination of political, economic, and social issues that affect the security, well-being, and dignity of the peoples of the world. Each year approximately 25 fellowships will be awarded to young scholars whose work will develop knowledge and understanding essential to the resolution of fundamental international issues. Fellowships will be awarded for periods of three to nine months and may include funds for travel or other field- research costs if these are essential to the study.
Additional information is available upon request.
Fellowships are awarded to PhD candidates who have completed coursework and are conducting dissertation research. Awards are generally made to students of political science, economics, international relations, and history, although awards are made on occasion to students in other social science disciplines whose dissertations address topics of unusual significance for current policy. Applicants may be citizens of any country. Fellowships vary in amount according to recipients' needs and resources.
