The Social Science Research Council is pleased to announce the

technology
(IT), international cooperation and global security. PhD students and
faculty from any academic discipline and of any nationality may apply.
These in-residence fellowships, for summer 2001, are designed for
researchers who currently work on cooperation and security issues and
who
want to explore the role and impact of IT in this area; or for
researchers
who work on IT and want to explore its relationship to cooperation and
security.
International cooperation and global security involve a wide range of
issues including new forms of global regulation and surveillance;
transboundary advocacy and global civil society; economic and political
"crisis" and transformation; unequal access to goods and services;
transnational identity politics; conflict and transboundary
intervention;
military and warfare practices; and power and authority in the global
realm. IT issues could involve the Internet and related technologies
such

bearing directly on connectivity and content such as structures of
information flow and processes of disinformation and dissemination.
