INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION

ROBERT W. AND JESSE COX GRADUATE ESSAY AWARD

Established in 1997, the International Studies Association Robert W. and Jessie Cox Award honors the best graduate student paper of critical inquiry into international relations. The purpose of the prize is to encourage critical study of international political economy, world orders, and civilizations. Papers submitted should relate, broadly, to the main normative principles for which the Coxes stand, including: diffusion of power; democratization; mutual respect for distinct civilizations, concern for the biosphere; and, greater equality among societies, genders, and races. The winner will receive a $500.00 cash prize and a plaque at the awards presentations at the annual ISA Convention.

Please see the award website for nomination and deadline info.

ANNUAL GLOBAL CHANGE, PEACE & SECURITY-ROUTLEDGE ESSAY PRIZE

This competition is designed to encourage outstanding new contributions to research on practical and theoretical questions posed by a rapidly globalising world. It seeks to attract new research into the international dimensions of political, economic and cultural life, and into the contradictions of an increasingly integrated yet fragmented world. Of specific interest are entries that look at events and developments that reverberate beyond the confines of a particular country, and those concerning the sources and consequences of conflict, violence and insecurity, as well as the conditions and prospects for conflict transformation and peacebuilding.

Global Change, Peace & Security is a scholarly journal that has for more than twenty years addressed the difficult practical and theoretical questions posed by a rapidly globalising world. It is committed to promoting research that explores the relationships between states, economies, cultures and societies. For details, visit www.tandf.co.uk/journals/gcps

Please send entries (printed in English and as email attachments only) to gcps@latrobe.edu.au by no later than Monday 20 December 2010. Additional information is available for download (CPAR_prize2010-PDF).
