Walter Isard Award for the Best Dissertation in Peace Science |
The Walter Isard Award for the Best Dissertation in Peace Science is given every two years. The award honors outstanding contributions to the scientific knowledge of peace and conflict and carries a value of $1000. Competition is open to students of any nationality who successfully defend a doctoral dissertation in any field on the subject of peace science, conflict behavior, international relations, or a related topic. The winner is selected on the basis of the importance and scientific significance of the dissertation with respect to the field of peace science and its contribution to the understanding of international behavior more generally. Any member of the individual's dissertation committee may nominate dissertations for consideration for the award.
At the Society's 2008 meeting, we will present the Isard Award for dissertations completed in the period April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2008. Nomination deadline for that award is June 1, 2008.

Stuart A. Bremer Award for Best Graduate Student Paper |
The Stuart A. Bremer Award is presented to the author or authors of the best graduate student paper delivered at each year's Peace Science Society meeting. Papers eligible for consideration include those associated with poster presentations made at the meeting as well as those presented at the meeting's regular sessions. Co-authored papers may be considered for the award, but only if all of the authors are graduate students at the time of the meeting.
The author or authors of the winning paper receives travel support of $1000 to present the paper at the following year's European Peace Science meeting. That meeting is normally held in June at the Jan Tinbergen Institute in Amsterdam . The award amount is for the paper: in instances of multiple authors, the allocation of the $1000 travel support will be determined by the authors.
The winner is selected on the basis of the paper's potential scientific significance and its contribution to the study of peace science. An ad hoc three-person committee consisting of members of the Society will determine the winner.
