The PIs will hold a three-day workshop to assess the state of social science knowledge about the role of global-level processes and institutions in shaping the character, causes, and consequences of global tensions broadly defined. The workshop will focus on the Middle East.as both a site and a source of global tensions. It will be organized by the Mershon Center at Ohio State University and the United Nations Development Program Center at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. The workshop will hosted by Bogazici University. Workshop sessions will center on the global system itself: what is its structure, how is it changing, and how do its features and trajectory affect global tensions. An international group of social scientists conducting research on different aspects of globalization and global conflict will articulate research priorities that will provide the basis for future collaboration especially the formation of international research teams. Workshop participants will be social scientists from the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. The workshop will be interdisciplinary with participants drawn mainly from Sociology and Political Science--two disciplines centrally engaged in the study of globalization, social movements, and political violence. Participants will summarize the current state of knowledge in their particular area of research about globalization and its impact on global tensions, identify cutting edge research questions relating to global tensions, and outline a future research agenda to advance social science understanding of global tensions. The ultimate goal is to encourage the development of research projects that examine global factors that contribute to conflict and tensions within and among states. Workshop sessions will be divided into three sections: The Global System and Global Tensions, Global and Local Synergies and Flashpoints, and Developing a Research Agenda for Understanding Global Tensions. This project's broader impacts are four-fold: First, the papers and discussions in this workshop are of great interest and immense importance to scholars, policymakers, and students interested in understanding the causes, character, and consequences of contemporary global tensions. Second, the recommendations of the workshop participants for productive and promising ways to conceptualize and study global tensions will strengthen future research and scholarship in this area. Third, the gender, national, ethnic, methodological, and disciplinary diversity of workshop participants will serve not only to provide a broad array of ideas and approaches to understanding global tensions, but will provide many opportunities for future collaborations among colleagues working in different disciplines and national settings; our decision to hold the workshop in Istanbul was, in part, to facilitate the participation of international scholars who might find it difficult to attend a workshop held in the U.S. Finally, the international diversity of workshop participants will contribute to social science research capacity building in NSF's three priority areas: people, ideas, and tools.

PI 将举办为期三天的研讨会，评估社会科学知识的状况，了解全球层面的进程和机构在塑造广泛定义的全球紧张局势的特征、原因和后果方面的作用。 研讨会将重点关注中东，它既是全球紧张局势的发源地，也是全球紧张局势的根源。 该活动将由俄亥俄州立大学默尚中心和土耳其伊斯坦布尔海峡大学联合国开发计划署中心组织。 该研讨会将由海峡大学主办。 研讨会将以全球体系本身为中心：其结构是什么、如何变化以及其特征和轨迹如何影响全球紧张局势。 一个由社会科学家组成的国际小组对全球化和全球冲突的不同方面进行研究，将阐明研究重点，为未来的合作，特别是国际研究团队的组建奠定基础。研讨会参与者将是来自美国、欧洲和中东的社会科学家。 该研讨会将是跨学科的，参与者主要来自社会学和政治学——这两个学科主要研究全球化、社会运动和政治暴力。 参与者将总结全球化及其对全球紧张局势影响的特定研究领域的知识现状，确定与全球紧张局势相关的前沿研究问题，并概述未来的研究议程，以促进社会科学对全球紧张局势的理解。 最终目标是鼓励开展研究项目，研究导致国家内部和国家之间冲突和紧张的全球因素。 研讨会会议将分为三个部分：全球体系和全球紧张局势、全球和地方协同作用和热点以及制定了解全球紧张局势的研究议程。 该项目具有四个方面的更广泛影响：首先，本次研讨会中的论文和讨论对于有兴趣了解当代全球紧张局势的原因、特征和后果的学者、政策制定者和学生来说非常有趣且极其重要。 其次，研讨会参与者提出的关于概念化和研究全球紧张局势的富有成效和有前景的方法的建议将加强该领域未来的研究和学术。 第三，研讨会参与者的性别、国家、种族、方法和学科多样性不仅将为理解全球紧张局势提供广泛的想法和方法，而且将为不同学科和领域的同事之间未来的合作提供许多机会。国家设置；我们决定在伊斯坦布尔举办研讨会的部分原因是为了方便那些可能很难参加在美国举办的研讨会的国际学者的参与。最后，研讨会参与者的国际多样性将有助于促进社会科学研究能力建设NSF 的三个优先领域：人员、创意和工具。
