The Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL) at Stanford University invites emerging political, civil society, and business leaders from transitional countries to apply to participate in its eighth annual Draper Hills Summer Fellowship on Democracy and Development program.
The 2011 program will be held from July 22 – August 10, 2012, at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.
The Draper Hills Summer Fellows Program is a three-week executive education program that is run annually on the Stanford campus by an interdisciplinary team of leading Stanford faculty. The program brings together a group of 25 to 30 mid-career practitioners in law, politics, government, private enterprise, civil society, and international development from transitioning countries. This training program provides a unique forum for emerging leaders to connect, exchange experiences, and receive academic training to enrich their knowledge and advance their work.
Previous Stanford Summer Fellows have served as presidential advisers, senators, attorneys general, lawyers, journalists, civic activists, entrepreneurs, academic researchers, think tank managers, members of the international development community and even a former prime minister, hailing from 57 developing democracies worldwide. The program is highly selective, receiving several hundred applications each year.
This program is aimed at early to mid-career policymakers, business and development professionals, and leaders of civil society organizations (such as representatives of trade unions, non-governmental organizations, business and professional associations, and the mass media) who play important emerging roles in their country’s economic and political development.

5. CIES 2012 Annual Meeting in San Juan Puerto Rico from April 22nd to 27th: Call for Proposals
Call for Proposals
The Comparative and International Education Society is pleased to announce its 56th annual meeting, which will be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico during the week April 22-27, 2012. As the oldest city under the US flag, San Juan’s rich history and culture will serve as a stimulating backdrop for this meeting.
Theme
The worldwide education revolution is the theme for CIES 2012. Over the past 150 years, the worldwide education revolution has thoroughly transformed human society. The relentless inclusion of ever more people into formal and non-formal schooling—from early childhood education to advanced university training and beyond—is a social revolution with cultural, material, and political consequences for human life around the globe. Some claim that the education revolution has fostered major improvements in the quality of social and individual life, while others are critical and highlight disappointing outcomes and persistent shortcomings of contemporary educational systems. Arguably the education revolution has created a schooled society to an unprecedented degree, and widespread education in postindustrial society has created central cultural ideas about new types of knowledge, new kinds of experts, new definitions of personal success and failure, new conceptions of the workplace and jobs, new ways to make profitable firms and to structure formal organizations, new definitions of intelligence and human talent, new styles of parenting, widespread political mobilization, new dimensions of mass religion, and more. Understanding the past, present, and future of the education revolution is a central challenge to the comparative study of education. What has been the legacy of the education revolution? What are its current challenges and promises for the future? How do the transformative and democratic effects of education interact with the social forces of inertia and inequality that still pervade the system of education in both developed and developing countries? What can comparative and international scholarship uniquely add to debate about the emerging schooled society? These and related questions are the focus of the 2012 CIES conference.
