Honours, Masters, Doctoral, Post-Doctoral students, Senior Researchers
IFAS-Research would like to remind research teams, researchers and
students in the Human and Social Sciences working on Southern Africa,
that all applications for the financing of research works, events, field

(research@ifas.org.za
<mailto:research@ifas.org.za?subject=Funding%20Application%202011>)

All applications will be considered. However, research in line with that
of the Institute will be an advantage. As a reminder, we list hereunder
our four current focus areas. No conditions of nationality apply. This
call is therefore clearly intended to elicit projects from researchers
from both Europe and Southern Africa. Beyond the themes indicated below,
Southern African researchers willing to submit projects of a comparative
nature (between Southern Africa and Europe) requiring fieldwork in
France are welcome.
The 3 essential eligibility criteria are:

Southern Africa, and with Francophone countries when applicable;
if in doubt the applicants may contact IFAS to be put in touch
with researchers likely to collaborate with them

euros;
* financial participation from another institution (details of which
should be provided in the project).
*Focus areas : *
1. *Southern African Cities: Urban Dynamics and Governance*

government and the adoption of "best practice" models,
participation, migration and xenophobia, historical development of
Southern African cities, spatial justice and the right to the city.

1. Mapping of electoral dynamics, party politics, republicanism;
2. Law and transformation : constitutional changes, protection
of minority rights, equity policies; human rights regime,
refugee & asylum regimes, citizenship and its

services;
