CFA: Sakıp Sabancı International Research Award

Submissions are invited for an essay competition on the theme "New Directions for Turkish Foreign Policy in a Changing World Order: Challenges and Opportunities." The competition is open to all scholars in the social sciences with special interest on contemporary Turkey. The essays submitted to the competition should address the issues and challenges that are related to Turkish attempts to position and re-evaluate Turkish foreign policy to the increasingly fluid environment of world politics that involves shifts and transitions of power. In particular, the authors should assess the benefits and challenges of Turkey’s newly discovered pro-active foreign policy that may lead to realignments and revaluation of Turkey’s traditional positioning in world politics.  The Sakıp Sabancı International Research Award includes $20,000 for the first prize, $10,000 for the second, and $5,000 for the third. Entries must be submitted online in English by March 31, 2011.
