USA: Regional Security in Eastern Europe and Eurasia - 2010 Regional Policy Symposium

Overview

The 2010 research symposium is presented by IREX in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars’ Kennan Institute (WWC) and supported by the US Department of State (Title VIII Program).

The symposium will bring American junior and senior scholars and members of the policy community together to study and discuss timely issues concerning regional security in Eastern Europe and Eurasia from multi-disciplinary perspectives. Topics may include: economic stability; energy security; nonproliferation; terrorism; trafficking of drugs, weapons or people; among other issues critical to regional security.

Junior scholars will be chosen based on a national competition to present their current research on the topic of the Symposium. Grants will be awarded to approximately ten junior scholars.

The Symposium is scheduled to take place in early April 2010 in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area and will involve two full days of reviews of current research projects, roundtable discussions, and the development of policy recommendations.


Program Overview

The Regional Policy Symposium Program, initiated in 2000 as a new model for supporting scholarship, provides US students, scholars, and professionals with a forum to examine and discuss current policy research on the countries of Eurasia and Central and East Europe from multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches. The research ultimately results in the development and dissemination of policy recommendations to academic and policy communities.

PROGRAM GOALS

The program, funded by the Title VIII Program of the US Department of State, has three primary goals:

■ To enable US junior and senior scholars to work together in analyzing complex issues affecting the countries of Eurasia and Central and East Europe from multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches.
■ To encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas and networking opportunities among scholars with similar regional interests.
■ To provide policymaking communities with knowledge of current research on evolving regions and valuable policy conclusions drawn from intensive interaction among scholars.

Deadline: December 11, 2009
