(Please note that applications that do not fall within the parameters of =
the theme for 2006-2007 will also receive full consideration.)

Each year the Institute for Advanced Study's School of Social Science in =
Princeton, New Jersey, invites fifteen to twenty scholars to spend an =
academic year in residence as Visiting Members, pursuing their own =
research. It welcomes applications in economics, political science, law, =
psychology, sociology, and anthropology. It encourages social scientific =
work with an historical and humanistic bent and also entertains =
applications in history, philosophy, literary criticism, literature, and =
linguistics. A completed doctorate or equivalent is required of all =
applicants; memberships are awarded at both the junior and senior =
levels. Member awards are funded by the Institute for Advanced Study and =
other sources, including the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The theme for 2006-07 is The "Third World" Now. The last sixty years =
have seen a dramatic change in the shape of the world. Colonial empires =
have dissolved either violently or peacefully and a new international =
system has taken shape. From the original 42 members of the League of =
Nations, the United Nations has grown to 191. In many states founded by =
charismatic spokesmen for national liberation there are now a second =
generation of more managerial types. And there is a different, volatile =
configuration of alliances and antagonisms among them. There have been =
many studies over the years of such matters as the modernization and =
development of emerging economies postcolonial culture and politics, =
ethnic rivalries within and among nations, and post-Cold War =
realignments. Most such studies have been conducted within the context =
of "globalization," and have used categories of analysis that, in the =
light of recent history, appear dated and inadequate to the task. What =
is lacking, and what we are hoping to provide, is a map of structure, =
and form. Such a map requires not only empirical work (from historians, =
ethnographers, political economists, geographers, sociologists), but new =
and revised categories of analysis that will illuminate the patterns =
that have emerged. We want to bring together a group of scholars from =
all over the world whose individual work (substantive and focused as =
well as theoretical) will contribute to the drawing of this map and who =
collectively will articulate the analytic categories that can make sense =
of the "third world" as it is now. (Please note that applications that =
do not fall within the parameters of the theme for 2006-2007 will also =
receive full consideration.)
