Support for U.S. Participants in an International Scientific Conference of Sociolegal Scholars Amsterdam, Netherlands - June 25-29, 1991

社会法学学者国际科学会议计划于1991年6月25日至29日在荷兰阿姆斯特丹举行。这次活动是该领域第一次真正意义上的国际性科学会议，美国和西欧以及来自北美和南美洲、东欧、亚洲、非洲、澳大利亚、大洋洲和近东其他地区的参与者大致相等。会议的目的是加强跨国家和学科边界的协作比较研究。这笔赠款是为了支持美国与会者参加会议的旅行。在挑选获奖者时，共同赞助者(法律和社会协会和国际社会学协会)优先考虑年轻学者(两人都是即将获得博士学位的人)。以及最近收到的那些)。在美国，大多数社会科学对法律的研究都集中在“普通法”制度上，因为它们在这个国家不断演变。通过与其他普通法制度、大陆法系和其他形式的比较研究来促进知识的发展的潜力是巨大的。此外，随着世界许多地区的法律和社会结构发生如此显著的变化，在这次会议的推动下，跨文化研究应该具有更多的及时性和重要性。

An International Scientific Conference of Sociolegal Scholars is planned for June 25-29, 1991, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This event is the first truly international scientific gathering in this field, with roughly equal participation from the U.S. and Western Europe, as well as participants from elsewhere in North and South America, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Oceania, and the Near East. The purpose of the conference is to strengthen collaborative comparative research across both national and disciplinary boundaries. The grant is to provide support for travel by U.S. participants to the conference. In the selection of awardees, the co-sponsors (the Law and Society Association and the International Sociological Association) have assigned first priority to younger scholars (both those who are about to receive their Ph.Ds. and those of have received them recently). Most social scientific studies of law in the United States have focussed on "common law" institutions as they have evolved in this country. The potential for advancing knowledge through comparative studies with other common law systems, with civil law systems, and with other forms is great. Moreover, with legal and social structures changing so markedly in many parts of the world, the cross-cultural research, stimulated by the conference, should take on an added timeliness and significance.
