The School of Politics and International Relations at University of Kent announces an international Global Challenges Doctoral Scholarship to begin in the academic year 2018/19 under the supervision of Professor Elena Korosteleva.
Scholarship value:
- Annual stipend at UKRI rates (£14,777)
- Payment of tuition fees
- School funding to cover OS fee difference for three years
- Minimum research training support grant of £3500
About the scholarship:
- The GCRF PhD Scholarship is offered as part of the GCRF COMPASS project, which in partnership with the top-level HEIs in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, seeks to explore a novel ‘adaptive governance approach’ to make global and domestic governance more effective and sustainable.
- The project develops the concepts of resilience as self-governance, with the emphasis on the ‘peoplehood’, identity and a ‘sense of good life’ for local communities; regime legitimacy and capacity-building; as well as domestic and international order formation within the framework of a Multi-Order World.
Requirements:
- Applicant must have a good knowledge of the eastern region (including Central Asia), and IR scholarship, to be able to develop a novel perspective on and an understanding of changing international relations in the region, and the increasing role of ‘the local’ in shaping global order.
