The Regional Policy Symposium Program, initiated in 2000 as a new model
for supporting scholarship, provides US students, scholars, and
professionals with a forum to examine and discuss current policy
research on the countries of Eurasia and Central and East Europe from
multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches. The research
ultimately results in the development and dissemination of policy
recommendations to academic and policy communities.

PROGRAM GOALS

The program, funded by the Title VIII Program of the US Department of
State, has three primary goals:

     * To enable US junior and senior scholars to work together in
analyzing complex issues affecting the countries of Eurasia and Central
and East Europe from multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches.

     * To encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas and networking
opportunities among scholars with similar regional interests.

     * To provide policymaking communities with knowledge of current
research on evolving regions and valuable policy conclusions drawn from
intensive interaction among scholars.

PROGRAM ACTIVITY

2008 Regional Symposium Grants: Frozen Conflicts and Unrecognized States
in Southeast Europe and Eurasia

IREX, in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars' Kennan Institute (WWC), will be administering a research
Symposium that will examine the frozen conflicts and unrecognized states
in Southeast Europe and Eurasia from political, historical, economic,
cultural, and security perspectives. The Symposium will bring junior and
senior scholars and members of the policy community together to study
and discuss timely topics including: security and military cooperation;
economic trends; environment and safety; human rights; cross-border
ethnic issues; trade development; legal reform; and foreign relations.
Research focus areas include: Abkhazia; Kosovo; Nagorno-Karabakh;
Republika Srpska; South Ossetia; and Transnistria.

Junior scholars will be chosen based on a national competition to
present their current research on the topic of the Symposium. Grants
will be awarded to approximately 10 junior scholars. The Regional
Symposium is scheduled to take place in late March 2008 in the
Washington, DC, metropolitan area and will involve two full days of
reviews of current research projects, roundtable discussions, and the
development of policy recommendations.
