2007 Stanford Summer Fellows on Democracy and Development

The Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL) at
Stanford University's Freeman Spogli Institute for International
Studies invites policymakers and activists from countries undergoing
political, economic, and social transitions to participate in its
third annual Stanford Summer Fellows on Democracy and Development program.

The 2007 program will be held from July 30 - August 17, 2007 at
Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

The Stanford Summer Fellows on Democracy and Development Program
(SSFDD) is a three-week executive education program that is run
annually on the Stanford campus by an interdisciplinary team of
leading Stanford faculty. The program brings together a group of
approximately 30 civic, political, and economic leaders from
transitioning countries. Stanford Summer Fellows are former prime
ministers and presidential advisers, senators and attorneys general,
journalists and civic activists, academics and members of the
international development community. Since the program was introduced
in 2005, we have typically received more than 800 applications each year.

This program is aimed at early to mid-career policymakers, academics,
and leaders of civil society organizations (such as representatives
of trade unions, nongovernmental organizations, the media, business
and professional associations) who will play important roles in their
country's democratic, economic, and social development. We anticipate
recruiting a group of 30 individuals dedicated to democracy and
development promotion within their home countries (particularly in,
but not limited to, the regions of the Middle East, Northern and
Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, and other parts of the former Soviet
Union).

Successful applicants will be proficient in spoken and written
English and will have academic and practical credentials necessary to
benefit fully from the course and actively contribute to programmatic
discussions. The ideal course participant will have extraordinary
motivation, at least three to five years of experience in a relevant
field of democratic development, and a keen interest in learning and
sharing knowledge and experiences in transforming his or her country.
