Democracy and World Politics Summer Research Program

The Department of Political Science at Oklahoma State University will host the fifth annual Democracy and World Politics Summer Research Program for undergraduates. This program presents a valuable opportunity for undergraduate students to conduct faculty-mentored research projects. Supported by summer stipends, research funds, travel funds, and intensive mentoring, students will formulate and carry out a research project work in one of three self-selected issue areas: a) Foreign Policy in a Democracy; b) Democratization and Democracy Promotion; c) Democracy and Conflict. Successful applicants will spend about 9 weeks at Oklahoma State (June - July) during the summer of 2009, where they will work with a team of faculty members and visiting scholars to develop research questions and design and complete projects within their issue-areas. All application material is located on the Oklahoma State University Department of Political Science website. The application deadline is March 1, 2009.
