CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR REAGAN-FASCELL DEMOCRACY FELLOWSHIP


The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) invites democracy practitioners, scholars and journalists from around the world to apply for a 2008-09 Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowship.

The programme, based in Washington, D.C., offers five-month fellowships for democracy practitioners to improve strategies and techniques for building democracy abroad; and five- to 10-month fellowships for scholars to conduct original research for publication. Fellowship projects may focus on the political, social, economic, legal and cultural aspects of democratic development and may include a range of methodologies and approaches.

A working knowledge of English is required. Fellows will receive a stipend and health and travel insurance. The programme is not designed to pay for professional training or to support students working toward a degree.

The deadline for applications is 1 November 2007. For more information, including application materials, email: fellowships@ned.org or visit: http://tinyurl.com/384hzs
