Awards

The American Political Science Association gives awards political scientists and scholars 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.

Each year, APSA awards are presented at APSA’s Annual Meeting. We are proud to congratulate the 2024 American Political Science Association Award Recipients.
