Salvador Santino Regilme awarded fellowship at NIAS

Salvador Santino Regilme has been selected for a fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS) in Amsterdam. From September 2022, he will spend 5 months at NIAS working on his research project titled 'The Normative Order of the Global War on Drugs'.

Regilme's project focuses on the following questions: If the battle against illegal drugs is construed as a war, how is victory in such a war defined and constructed? Which competing normative orders constitute distinctive policy approaches towards illegal drugs? How are drug wars justified by their perpetrators within and beyond the state apparatus?

The NIAS Fellowship allows Salvador Santino Regilme to work on his project for a period of 5 months in the academic year 2022/23, from September 2022 to January 2023. He will become part of a carefully selected community of independent thinkers, in a collaborative environment where the space is created to ask new questions beyond disciplinary boundaries. NIAS Fellows are selected through a highly competitive external review process on the basis of the quality of the research proposal.

The Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study is an intellectual haven for international researchers, writers, journalists and artists to pursue their projects, to work in an interdisciplinary environment and to share their knowledge with society. 

It offers a diverse year-group of about 50 NIAS Fellows the opportunity to devote themselves to their own research project in a collaborative learning environment. NIAS is the oldest Institute for Advanced Study in Europe whose founding mission is to foster curiosity-driven research. It is an institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and is located in Amsterdam.
