Sakip
Sabanci
International
Research Award

Sabanci University, in
cooperation with the Brookings Institution, is delighted to announce
the launch
of the Sakip Sabanci International Research Award. Sponsored by the
late Mr.
Sakip Sabanci, prominent Turkish philanthropist and business leader,
this
annual research award aims to encourage and promote fresh thinking,
new
ideas,
and original research relevant to Turkish studies, conducted in any
field of
the humanities and social sciences.

The
topic for the 2006 Sakip
Sabanci Award is “Turkey’s
New Geopolitical Environment: Policy Challenges and Opportunities
for
Engagement.”

This
year’s competition
calls for original, essay-length studies addressing the key issues
relating to
the changes in Turkey’s
neighborhood and how Turkey
might respond to these changes. As such, studies focusing on any one
or
several
of the following themes are welcome: Turkey’s
potential role in the region, in wider Europe, in transatlantic
relations; its
relations with the EU, Russia,
the Balkans, the Caucasus, its Middle-Eastern neighbors, and Central
Asia.

The
Sakip Sabanci International
Research Award is jointly administered by the Brookings Institution
and
the
Trustees of Sabanci University, Istanbul.
The 2006 Awards include $20,000 for the first prize, $10,000 for the
second,
and $5,000 for the third. Prize-winners will be decided by an
independent,
international jury, whose members will be announced in the fall of
2005.

Conditions
for the competition are
as follows: All entries must be new and original works, previously
not
published in any form. Essays must be approximately 5,000-6,000
words;
they
must be submitted in English only by means of e-mail in the form of
an
attached
Word document to the following two addresses simultaneously:

The
deadline
for submissions for the 2006 Award is January 31, 2006.
