June IPE workshop “Knowledge Networks and Policy Communities in the Global Political Economy”
Colleagues,
Attached is a Call for Proposals for the first workshop of the Alliance on Governance Research and Analysis (AGORA). AGORA is the collaborative venture of University of Warwick (UK), Griffith University (Brisbane, Australia), the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs (Oslo, Norway), the Watson Institute at Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island, USA) and the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security & Law at the University of Texas (Austin, Texas, USA).
The first workshop will be on June 22-23, 2010 at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies. The broad topic is “Knowledge Networks and Policy Communities in the Global Political Economy.”
We apologize for the short lead time on this, but hope you can help us get the word out to potential participants, especially advanced grad students or recent PhDs who would especially benefit from such an informal, yet intensive setting for sharing their work in progress. We are not expecting full papers as much as well-developed proposals/research agendas. We also will not ask participants to present their own work; rather, we will assign a presenter and an additional discussant, thus guaranteeing at least two sets of detailed comments for each participant.
We are funding US participants up to $1000 per person and non-US participants up to $2000. We expect a total of between 12-18 participants at the workshop. The short (one page) proposals are due April 15 by email to me (ceweaver@austin.utexas.edu) and Len Seabrooke (l.seabrooke@warwick.ac.uk).
Please let your students and colleagues know about this opportunity. We also welcome your own proposals!
Questions can be directed to me or anyone else on the selection committee (Mark Blyth, Len Seabrooke or Jason Sharman – email addresses are included in the attached Call for Proposals).
Many thanks,
Kate Weaver
