“The Gulf and Asia: Political Relations and Strategic Options in a Developing Scenario (China, India, South Korea and Japan)”. At the Gulf Research Meeting.
This workshop, extending over the three days of the
Gulf Research Meeting in July 2013, focuses on how political and strategic
relations between the Gulf and leading Asian powers may develop over the next
10 years. The intention is to look at the existing political and defence
strategies being pursued by all the states and powers concerned, take into
account the extent to which their economic development depend on what the other
states/powers can provide, assess whether the Gulf States will in fact need
external strategic support, compare the potential Asian strategic contribution
with that which can be obtained from elsewhere, and assess the potential for
different non-Gulf powers to work together under a common security umbrella.
The directors of the workshop are Professor Tim
Niblock (University of Exeter) and Professor Yangguang (Chinese Academy of
Social Sciences).
Details on registration for the workshop can be
found on the Gulf Research Meeting website: http://grm.grc.net.

ΑΛΛΕΣ ΠΛΗΡΟΦΟΡΊΕΣ
Proposals for Research on Arab Migrant
Communities in the GCC
The Center for International and Regional
Studies (CIRS) at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar
announces a major research initiative designed to enhance our understanding of
Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC. Despite the increasing dominance of Asian
migrants to the region, current estimates are that there are still somewhere
around 4 million non-Gulf Arabs throughout the GCC states, or over 25 percent of
the total migrant population. The Arab migrant community in the Gulf is
predominantly composed of Egyptians, Yemenis, Palestinians, Jordanians, and
Syrians. While the study of migration to the Gulf is increasingly garnering attention
from a number of academics and interested observers, the bulk of ongoing
empirically-based research efforts are focused on non-Arab migrants. The Arab migrant
communities present in the Gulf have been a neglected area and merit further
scholarly discussion and focus. In line with this, CIRS is launching a new
multi-disciplinary research initiative entitled “Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC.”
Our goal is to explore questions related to the topic through funding
empirically-grounded, theoretically informed research proposals.
CIRS seeks to stimulate the collection of
reliable data and
the production of sound analysis on this topic. Priority will be given to
projects that propose original,
empirically-grounded research involving fieldwork on topics related to Arab Migrant Communities in the GCC.
Award recipients are expected to become active participants in the CIRS research
initiative on the issue. This may include travel to Doha for working group meetings,
public talks, or authorship of a chapter for an edited volume.
The maximum amount per grant award is US $10,000
and the awards can last up to a maximum of one year. Researchers interested in
applying should send a cover letter and detailed research proposal that conforms to the
guidelines outlined in the Request for Proposals on the CIRS website. Proposal
submissions are due January 15, 2013.
For inquiries and grant application submission,
contact cirsgrants@georgetown.edu.
