Call for Submissions
2009 Award for Conceptual Innovation in Comparative Politics
IPSA Committee on Concepts and Methods (C&M)
Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE), Mexico
The Committee on Concepts and Methods (C&M) of the International Political Science Association
and the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City
invite submissions to the third tri-annual Award for Conceptual Innovation
in Comparative Politics.
The award is given every three years at the World Congress of the International
Political Science Association (IPSA).
2003 Award.
The first was awarded in 2003 to Gerardo L. Munck (University of Southern California) and
Jay Verkuilen (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) for their article
"Conceptualizing and Measuring Democracy: Evaluating Alternative Indices,"
published in Comparative Political Studies, Vol. 35, No. 1, February 2002, pp. 5-34.
2006 Award.
The 2006 Award for Conceptual Innovation in Democratic Studies was granted to
James L Gibson, Sidney W. Souers Professor of Government at Washington University
in St. Louis, for his book Overcoming Apartheid. Can Truth Reconcile a Divided Nation?
(New York: Russell Sage Foundation, 2004).
The third award will be given at the 2009 IPSA World Congress in Santiago de Chile.
Criteria
The III CIDE-C&M award will be given to a scholarly work published any time
between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2008.
Any category of formal publication may be submitted, whether it is a book,
book chapter, or journal article.
The idea of "conceptual innovation" is to be understood broadly.
It is intended to cover concept analysis and concept formation as well as
operationalization and measurement.
While the first two IPSA C&M and CIDE awards sought to recognize innovative work
in the more narrow field of “democratic studies,” the award is now targeting
conceptual innovation in the broader field of comparative politics.
Submissions
Submissions are open to authors, journal editors, and book publishers. Jury members, too,
may suggest candidates.
We encourage self-nominations. When submitting the work of others,
please make sure you have obtained the express consent of the author.
Board members of the Committee on Concepts and Methods are banned from participation.
Submissions must include:
- four copies of the work you submit,
- mailing address, phone, fax, and e-mail of the author, and
- mailing address, phone, fax, and e-mail of the person who submits
(if different from author).
Please, submit nominations by mail to:

Jury
For each award, the Committee on Concepts and Methods nominates a jury composed of three distinguished scholars
in field of comparative politics.
The 2009 jury will be formed by James L. Gibson (Washington University in St. Louis),
winner of the previous award and chairperson of the jury, John Gerring (Boston University),
and Mark Bevir (University of California at Berkeley).
The jury will seek consensual decisions. In case of disagreement, it will rule by majority.
Jury decisions are final.
Price Money
The winner of the price will be awarded 1.500 USD (one thousand five hundred US Dollars).
At the jury’s discretion, the price is divisible between various winners.
