THE ALBERT GALLATIN FELLOWSHIP IN
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
AT THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL
STUDIES
UNIVERSITY
OF GENEVA,
SWITZERLAND
The Albert Gallatin Fellowship in
International Affairs was established in 1976 by the FERIS Foundation of
America. The award for the coming academic year provides for up to nine
months of study at the Graduate Institute of International Studies, University of Geneva, Switzerland by an American
candidate for the Ph.D. who is actively engaged in dissertation research of the
Doctorate within the field of International Relations.
ALBERT GALLATIN
The Fellowship is named in honor
of Albert Gallatin, a native of Geneva, who
came to this country in 1780 at the age of 19, and later was Secretary of the
Treasury in the cabinets of Presidents Jefferson and Madison, where he played
a leading role in the Louisiana Purchase. He
was a negotiator of the Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812, American
Minister to France and Britain, a founder of New York University
and one of the earliest students of American ethnography. His biographer,
Raymond Walters, describes him as a "man unique and invaluable in any
age or land, a superbly able and almost completely selfless public
servant."
THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE OF
INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
Since 1927, the Graduate
Institute of International Studies in Geneva,
Switzerland
has been a leading center for the study of international relations. It
provides doctoral instruction in international law and politics,
international economics, international institutions and international
development. The Institute's multinational staff and student body, its use of
English and French in all aspects of its program form the basis of a
curriculum stressing independent work and research. It aims to provide
students with an international perspective, essential if they are to teach
international relations or international economics, follow careers in
diplomacy or in the international civil service, work in political or
economic journalism, or join multi-national companies at the management
level. We thus especially welcome proposals that are multinational in scope.
The Institute maintains close working relations with many international
governmental and non-governmental agencies and scholarly bodies in Geneva which deal with
a wide variety of international problems, thus providing unique opportunities
for doctoral research.
Candidates are urged to consult
the Institute's catalogue to see how its lectures and seminars and the
organizations with which it maintains working relations can best meet the
needs of the research programs. It can be obtained by writing directly to:
Secretariat, IUHEI, PO Box
