Ph.D. Program in Global History and Governance

Five 4-year doctoral scholarships available at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli (Italy), a.y. 2025-2026

The Scuola Superiore Meridionale (SSM) in Naples, in partnership with the Università di Napoli Federico II, invites applications for five fully funded scholarships in the PhD program in Global History and Governance for the academic year 2025-2026.

The Program: The PhD in Global History and Governance program consists of an advanced course of study and research at the end of which the student defends a dissertation based on original and independent scientific work. The course offers an educational program based on a multidisciplinary approach centered on history and law, but it is open to contributions from other disciplines.

The Ph.D. program in Global History and Governance is aimed at highly motivated students with a solid personal background and multiple language skills.

The program focuses on the comparisons, connections, and processes of globalization that have characterized different areas of the planet between the 16th and 20th centuries. It does so by concentrating on the relational dimension of historical processes, legal regimes, and the organization of power; on the interconnections between economic, political, legal, cultural, and social factors; and on the circulation, exchange, and interconnection of ideas, persons, institutions, legal cultures, political models, concepts, rights, and goods on a global scale.

Program coordinator: Prof. Daniela Luigia Caglioti

Funding amount: Annual stipend of € 19,000.00; 50% increase of the scholarship for research abroad for up to 12 months; up to 20% of the scholarship in research funds per year; no tuition fees.

Starting date: November 2, 2025

Admission requirements: Candidates must possess an MA/MS degree, an excellent command of English, and possibly a second language other than their mother tongue. They must present a personal statement, a research proposal on a subject relevant to the PhD program, and a review/discussion of a text that particularly inspired applicants in the choice to pursue their studies and in the conception and writing of the proposal itself.

Application deadline: August 27, 2025, 2:00 pm (CET), only via the online system.

Deadline for the submission of recommendation letters: August 29, 2025, 2:00 pm (CET)
