Subject: Fellowships at the Centre for Global Cooperation Research
Dear Dr. Gabagamabi,
The Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research has opened our call for fellowship applications with a prospective start date of April 2014. The fellows will work at the Centre for a period of six to twelve months. The fellowships entail working space in fully equipped offices and a competitive stipend commensurate with the applicant's level of professional experience. Fellows are expected to work at the Centre and to take residence in the region.
Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research is an independent research institution of the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The Centre offers a place for reflection and exchange for researchers from behavioural sciences, anthropology, social sciences, history as well as cultural studies. The four research units of the Centre focus on (1) The (Im)Possibility of Cooperation, (2) Global Cultural Conflicts and Transcultural Cooperation, (3) Global Governance Revisited, and (4) Paradoxes and Perspectives of Democratisation.
For the open six to eight fellowship positions, we invite people working on "Culture" as a limit and/or a resource for global cooperation. Within this research topic, we intend to overcome 'substantialist' views of culture (as a civilisational substance) as well as 'residualist' views (culture as a black box). The research question can be approached from different disciplinary angles and shall be elaborated in a multi- and interdisciplinary setting. The Centre is interested in the following questions:
Further research perspectives, beyond the four questions mentioned above, are welcomed as well.
For the call for application and further information please visit the website of Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research at http://www.gcr21.org.
Applications (in English) should contain a cover letter, a CV, a list of publications, and a short presentation of the proposed research programme (3-5 pages) plus two or three respective publications. Please indicate for which period you would like to come and mention at which level (Postdoc, Fellow, Senior Fellow) you wish to apply. Please indicate into which research unit your research project might fit best. Applications should be emailed to fellowship-applications@gcr21.uni-due.de with the subject heading "Culture and Global Cooperation".
The deadline for application is 20 August 2013. We would particularly encourage qualified women to apply.
We hope this information is of your interest and would highly appreciate if you circulated it among your colleagues.
Sincerely yours,

The research question can be approached from different disciplinary angles and shall be elaborated in a multi- and interdisciplinary setting. The Centre is interested in the following questions:
- What has, historically, been the role of cultural change for global cooperation? Does 'time' (for instance as experience of acceleration) have an effect on cooperation? Were there periods of change in regard to global cooperation that reflect different levels of organisations (such as villages, nation-states)? What can we 'learn' from those experiences for a better understanding of global cooperation in the 21st century?
- Does 'cooperation' have the same meaning in different cultural settings? What are the implications of different historical meanings for global cooperation in the 21st century?
- How can we understand and explain the proliferation of supralocal and supranational „we-identities", their inscription into cosmopolitan norms, rules and citizenship regulation?
- How do cultural differences and diversity interfere in international bargaining processes and situations (global challenges – universal rules vs. universalised rules – cultural references)? Do new technologies have an effect on rules of international diplomacy? In how far does the meaning and importance of cultural diversity have an impact on nation-, democracy-, and peacebuilding operations?
Further research perspectives, beyond the four questions mentioned above, are welcomed as well.

The German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) in brief:
The DIE is one of the leading Think Tanks for development policy world-wide. It is based in the UN City of Bonn. DIE builds bridges between theory and practice and works within international research networks. The key to DIE's success is its institutional independence, which is guaranteed by the Institute's founding statute. Since its founding in 1964, DIE has based its work on the interplay between Research, Consulting and Training. These three areas complement each other and are the factors responsible for the Institute's distinctive profile.
