[Tps] FW: Announcement of Funded Workshop on Global Processes & Non Governmental Public Action

[Frank Fischer]

FROM TPS


Workshop on 'Global Processes and Non Governmental Public Action'
Budapest, 16-20 July 2007.

Applications are called from post-doctoral and doctoral candidates for a
workshop funded by the ESRC on non-governmental public action (NGPA). The
workshop addresses the impact and influence of advocacy networks, campaigns
and coalitions, think tanks, universities and research institutes, trades
unions, peace groups, social forums, rights-based groups, social movements
and corporate citizenship. The specific concern is the way in which these
bodies are engaged in global and regional affairs through transnational
action, the policy implications of their actions, their development impact
and how they seek influence through persuasion (research, analysis,
advocacy) and through activism (lobbying, protest and rebellion).

Travel and accommodation will be supported for some successful applicants.
