-The World Society Foundation will give highest priority to papers that combine a general theo-retical discussion with new empirical findings. These findings may be based on comparative research as well as single-case studies, and on qualitative as well as quantitative research methods. In any case, paper proposals should give a very clear indication of the research methods, data sources and analytical tools that will be used. Please note that the Foundation is seeking original contributions. Papers that have already been published or submitted for publication will not be accepted.\\+The World Society Foundation will give highest priority to papers that combine a general theoretical discussion with new empirical findings.
