PhD Grants Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology
The Research Group focuses on law, authority and social behaviour in plural legal settings under conditions of increasing globalisation.
The project deals with local adoptions of international right discourses. It will study the global circulation of legal knowledge and norms of governance by looking how law is used by individuals and groups in conflicts with states. The projects wants to identify the social and political conditions that make people chose recourse to law in their conflicts with the state and how legal recourse relates to other modes of articulating demands. Moreover, it wants to assess the effect of recourse to law in terms of changes in norms and expectations and in modes of the social organisation of demands. Thereby it attempts to trace the changes in what is expected of state rule, the shifting norms of rights and justice, and the changes in practices of claiming rights caused by the interplay of local efforts and international pressures in the institutionalization of norms of governance.
The focus is on states with majority Muslim populations, e.g. Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Indonesia, but also others depending on the applicant’s preferences.
Please consult the website
http://www.eth.mpg.de for more information on the project.

Starting in 2002, EJU will be administered twice a year (June and November) in Japan and other countries and regions. For a list of examination sites, see “Examination sites.”
EJU includes the following subject tests: Japanese as a Foreign Language, Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), Japan and the World, and Mathematics. Applicants select which subject tests to take based on the requirements of the Japanese university they wish to enter. The examination is available in Japanese or English, and applicants may specify, at the time of application, the examination language they wish to take (the Japanese as a Foreign Language test is administered in Japanese only).

[Italy] Various Scholarships at Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP)
The Alta Scuola Politecnica (hereafter indicated as ASP) is launching a call for applications addressed to young talents who want to develop their interdisciplinary capabilities for leading and promoting innovation.
Founded by Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino, the ASP may be attended only by talents who enrol in one of their programmes of laurea specialistica (hereafter indicated as LS) in Engineering, Architecture or Design. The ASP, through a highly selective process, gives 150 promising students the opportunity to participate an additional advanced programme that runs in parallel to the LS programmes.
ASP students complement the knowledge achieved in their specific LS with a multifaceted and enriched understanding of innovation processes and contexts. They develop an interdisciplinary attitude to conceive, plan, implement and promote complex innovation projects that produce sustainable progress in economy, society and culture. The ASP is characterised by a multidisciplinary and multicultural community of students and professors, a prominent international Faculty, advanced seminars and study projects in close cooperation with business enterprises and governmental institutions.
The present call is call number 1, targeted to foreign citizens (EU and extra EU).
Number of Places
For the Academic Year 2007-2008, the ASP will enrol up to 150 students, 90 at Politecnico di Milano and 60 at Politecnico di Torino. The number of students enrolled may increase after this call, if further financial resources become available. Up to 38 places of the aforementioned are reserved to talented foreign students (EU and extra-EU citizens), 23 at Politecnico di Milano and 15 at Politecnico di Torino. This specific call concerns these 38 places reserved to foreign students.
The application forms for admission to the selection have to be filled out on-line (www.asp-poli.it, Admission and Financial Aid section), printed on plain paper and signed, and have to be sent by regular/priority mail or by fax to the same university where the ASP candidate is also applying for the laurea specialistica (the Politecnico di Milano or the Politecnico di Torino)
