DUAL-CAMPUS MA IN ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY AND PEACE- COSTA RICA AND CANADA
The University for Peace (UPEACE), affiliated to the United Nations, is pleased to announce that applications are now invited for the Dual-Campus MA program in Environmental Security and Peace, for the 2006 – 2007 academic year.
The MA in Environmental Security and Peace focuses on the interface between peace, development and environmental security. In particular, it concentrates on the links between several factors of insecurity: environmental stress and degradation, threats to livelihoods, harms to the resilience of fragile ecosystems, intensified competition over natural resources and, in certain volatile situations, escalating violence and conflict.
There is a major shortage of skilled and motivated people who fully understand these complex issues and their inter-linkages. The MA in Environmental Security and Peace responds to these challenges by providing motivated individuals with the necessary skills to understand, define and manage the actions needed to reduce the threats to peace arising from environmental change, and to make significant contributions towards improving environmental security and peace around the world.
The MA in Environmental Security and Peace is delivered in a dual mode between the UPEACE Campus in Costa Rica and the UPEACE Toronto Centre in Canada . The complete programme lasts for one year, out of which 4 months are spent studying at the UPEACE Toronto Centre. By combining the best resources available in Costa Rica and Canada this program offers a unique opportunity to study environmental security issues from different perspectives.
For the 2006 – 2007 academic year, UPEACE will be offering 10 full scholarships to qualified applicants in the MA in Environmental Security and Peace. One of these scholarships is designated for a Canadian applicant.

JENNINGS RANDOLPH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM,UNITED STATES INSTITUTE FOR PEACE, WASHINGTON , DC , USA
Date: 2007 - 2008
Deadline: September 15, 2006
Open to: scholars, policymakers, journalists and other professionals
The Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace awards Senior Fellowships to enable outstanding scholars, policymakers, journalists, and other professionals from around the world to conduct research at the U.S. Institute of Peace on important issues concerning international conflict and peace.
The program integrates the work of senior fellows into the Institute's education, research, training, and operational activities. It also works closely with USIP's staff to disseminate knowledge from these projects to policymakers, researchers, educators, and the general public through a combination of policy briefings, public events, media appearances, and published materials - including books and reports.
Senior Fellowship Overview
The United States Institute of Peace invites applications for Senior Fellowships in its Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace. These fellowships support practitioners and scholars working on research projects concerning the sources and nature of international conflict and ways of preventing, managing, or resolving conflict.
For 2007-2008, USIP expects to award about 12 fellowships. Priority will be given to proposals that promise to make a timely contribution to the understanding and resolution of ongoing and emerging international conflicts. USIP is especially interested in proposals addressing problems of the Muslim world, post-war reconstruction and reconciliation in Iraq and elsewhere, and responses to terrorism and political violence.
Proposals in all fields are welcome. Fellowships are open to citizens of any country.
Senior Fellows play an important role in helping to advance understanding on issues related to the prevention, management, and resolution of international conflicts.
Project Reports
USIP provides an opportunity for Senior Fellows to discuss their ongoing research and work at USIP through annual project reports. Held at USIP and open to the public, project reports are typically convened in a moderated-roundtable format and feature significant time for discussion, comments, and questions after the main presentation. Project reports are frequently attended by policymakers and members of the media and frequently become the basis for USIP Special Reports, books, and other publications.
The 2007-2008 Senior Fellowship Program:
• is for Senior Fellowships beginning in October 2007.
• is open to citizens of any country
• supports practitioners and scholars
• provides a residency in Washington , DC

Fellowships are open to citizens of any country.
Location
