THE BIELEFELD PRIZE FOR THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF SOCIOLOGY
Sponsored by the Gesellschaft fur Internationale Soziologie
(GIS), Bielefeld, in cooperation with the Journal Zeitschrift
fur Soziologie, Bielefeld, Germany.
With this prize (DM 5,000) GIS wants to promote the
internationalization of sociology by stimulating communication
and cooperation among young sociologists across national,
geographical and cultural boundaries. Thereby, the GIS, the
local organizing committee of the 1994 World Congress of
Sociology in Bielefeld wants to continue the theme of the
Congress Contested Boundaries and Shifting Solidarities,
inviting scholars from around the world to engage in this
endeavor.
The theme of the first competition is "Social Consequences of
the Globalization of the Economy". The decreasing importance of
distance is a major aspect of globalization. Thus, local and
national economies are affected by a growing interdependence
with economic events in other parts of the world. The growing
simultaneity of world events creates new forms of social
dynamics on a global scale, including financial markets, the
spreading of innovations, public opinion, international
politics, and life styles. These again affect national and local
structures and create new opprtunities though channels often
unknown and poorly analysed.
The jury will accept papers which deal either - with the
sociological conceptualization and analysis of social conditions
and processes involved in forms of world-wide interaction, -
with the study of the impact of world-wide economic processes
upon national or local settings, the way they affect social
change and pose challenges to policy making
The winner of the Bielefeld Prize for the Internationalization
of Sociology will be awarded 5,000 DM. The winning article will
be published in Zeitschrift fur Soziologie.
Members of the Jury are: Prof.Dr. Franz-Xaver KAUFMANN (Chair,
Bielefeld), Prof. Martin ALBROW (London), Prof.Dr. Johannes
BERGER (Mannheim), Prof.Dr. Hans-Dieter EVERS (Bielefeld),
Prof.Dr. Wolfgang STREEK (Berlin).
Submission of papers (90,000 bytes max.) is invited from
scholars below the level of full professor and 40 years of age.
Articles could be submitted in English or German. Deadline for
the submission of papers is September 30, 1998. Two copies of
the paper and a short CV should be sent to: Prof. Dr. Peter
Weingart, Chair of GIS University of Bielefeld Postbox 100131
