University of Canterbury Political Science MA Scholarships, New Zealand 2012
Three MA scholarships are available on the topic "Peace-building in the Pacific" tenable at the Philosophy and Political Science Department of the University of Canterbury.
These scholarships are part of the Marsden-funded project, Building Sustainable Peace in the Pacific, initially developed by the late Professor Jacob Bercovitch. This project aims to examine the post-conflict experiences of Pacific states: to understand why peace settlements and negotiations break down and violent conflict resumes: and to consider how best to achieve the foundations of long-lasting justice and reconciliation so as to create sustainable and durable peace. This project will consider a wide range of factors, including the role played by security forces and the judiciary; the role of development aid and economic restructuring; the part played by civil society and democratic institutions in fostering peace; the role of mediation in achieving peace; and the role of international organisations in conflict management.
Successful candidates will work closely with a team of researchers and will be required to integrate their thesis into the larger research project. In turn, successful candidates will be encouraged and supported to publish their work as part of the project, and may be funded for relevant field research.
Three MA scholarships are available for one year beginning in early 2012. Each scholarship carries a stipend of $16,000 plus domestic fees with a total value of $22,000.
Applications will be considered as they arrive, so that it is to your advantage to apply early.
Successful applicants should meet the academic requirements for enrolment in the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Canterbury and should take up the scholarship by 1 May 2012. An offer of scholarship will lapse if it is not accepted in writing within one month.
For further information, contact Associate Professor James Ockey or Dr Naimah Talib
