APSA Awards

One of the many important roles of the American Political Science Association (APSA) is recognizing excellence in the political science profession.  APSA makes awards for the best dissertations, papers and articles, and books in the various subfields, and for career achievement in research, teaching and service to the discipline.  APSA awards and prizes honor the work of scholars who make outstanding contributions to political science research, teaching, and service.

APSA is proud to congratulate the 2026 American Political Science Association Award Recipients. Each year, APSA awards are honored and presented during APSA’s Annual Meeting at the Ceremony/Reception Honoring APSA Award Winners.
