by <BR>August 1,
2002<BR>_________________________________________________________________________________________________<BR><BR>The
Central European University Center for Policy Studies
(CPS) is calling <BR>for proposals for its year 2003
International Policy Fellowships (IPF) <BR>program,
which is affiliated with the CPS and the Open Society
<BR>Institute-Budapest. Broadly speaking, an open
society is characterized by a <BR>reliance on the rule
of law, the existence of a democratically elected
<BR>government, a diverse and vigorous civil society,
and respect for <BR>minorities and minority opinions.
Launched in late 1999, the CPS works with <BR>a
broadening circle of policy analysts and institutions
to promote the <BR>development of policy center
networks throughout Central and Eastern <BR>Europe,
the former Soviet Union, and Mongolia, as well as
countries in <BR>South and Southeast Asia, the Middle
East, and North Africa. The Center <BR>undertakes
policy research and advocacy that furthers the open
society <BR>mission and disseminates quality analyses
in accessible formats.<BR><BR>The CPS International
Policy Fellowships are intended to support the
<BR>analytical policy research of open society leaders
and to provide these <BR>Fellows with professional
policy training. The program aims to improve the
<BR>quality of analysis in countries where the Soros
foundations work by <BR>ensuring that these leaders
are able to conduct research in their home <BR>region
while maintaining local affiliations and a high degree
of mobility <BR>and intellectual freedom. Fellows
participate in four training seminars in <BR>Budapest
over the course of the fellowship year conducted by
professors of <BR>public policy from around the world
and gain vital skills including how to <BR>write
professional policy documents, identify appropriate
policy <BR>instruments, and effectively advocate
policiesskills that are <BR>underdeveloped in
countries where the Soros foundations work. Good
policy <BR>analysis is characterized by elements
including a reliance on <BR>well-researched data;
comprehensive, non-ideological assessment of relevant
<BR>factors and options; explicitly stated criteria
for assessing options; <BR>consideration of the
interests and groups affected; and the clear
<BR>presentation of feasible recommendations for
action as well as how these <BR>recommendations should
be communicated and implemented.<BR><BR>Outstanding
Fellows from Eastern Europe may be nominated to
participate in <BR>additional training and research
opportunities including a three-month
<BR>International Junior Public Policy Scholar
Fellowship in Washington, D.C. <BR>in affiliation with
the Woodrow Wilson Center's East European Studies
<BR>program. The Woodrow Wilson International Center
for Scholars, the United <BR>States' official memorial
to President Wilson, was established by
<BR>congressional legislation in 1968. Meant to
reflect and continue Woodrow <BR>Wilson's commitment
to a deeper understanding of issues crucial to global
<BR>peace and stability, the Center serves as an
international, <BR>interdisciplinary, non-partisan
scholarly institute which fosters <BR>scholarship in
the humanities and social sciences and encourages
dialogue <BR>between the academic and policy
communities. East European Studies, housed <BR>at the
Woodrow Wilson Center, provides a non-partisan forum
for bringing <BR>historical and contemporary
understanding of the former communist states of
<BR>Eastern Europe and the Baltics to the nation's
capital and throughout the <BR>country. For more
details on the Wilson Center and its East European
<BR>Studies program, please see further details at the
end of this announcement <BR>and visit the Center's
website at www.wilsoncenter.org.<BR><BR>Applicants are
encouraged to submit individual, practical and
<BR>policy-oriented research proposals in the
following subject areas. The <BR>product of each
fellowship will be a detailed analysis of a major
issue to <BR>be published in English and translated
into other languages:<BR><BR>2003 Fellowship Issue

in Southeast Europe and The <BR>Future of the Caucasus

<BR>travel, and needed communications equipment to
work full-time on research <BR>of their design in one
of the above areas. The amount of the award will
<BR>vary depending on standards in the Fellow's

the proposal.<BR><BR>To Apply: Application
Requirements and Procedures<BR><BR>All initial queries
