PhD students and faculty from any academic discipline and of any nationality may apply. These in-residence fellowships (location TBA), for summer 2002, are designed for researchers who currently work on cooperation and security issues and who want to explore the role and impact of IT in this area; or for researchers who work on IT and want to explore its relationship to cooperation and security. Doctoral-student fellowships are $5,500. Faculty fellowships are $10,500. International cooperation and global security involve a wide range of issues including new forms of global regulation and surveillance; transboundary advocacy and global civil society; economic and political "crisis" and system transformation; unequal access to goods and services; transnational identity politics; conflict and transboundary intervention; changes in security threats, military and warfare practices; legitimacy, power and governance in the global realm. IT issues could involve the Internet and related technologies such as those associated with telecommunications, data processing, encryption, and systems of code; robotics, automation, and simulation; and concerns bearing directly on connectivity and content such as structures of information flow and processes of disinformation and dissemination.
