The 2025 Article Award (£1500 prize)
Dear subscribers, we wanted to alert you directly about the launch of our 2025 Article Award, with a prize of lots of books, and publication.
Each year, E-International Relations invites PhD / doctoral students (at any stage), research-track Masters students, and early career academics (within 5 years of submitting their PhD) to prepare articles outlining novel, or under appreciated, ideas that contribute to a better understanding of international relations. The award welcomes articles on the widest range of topics, so long as they connect their subject matter to a global or regional issue, with the aim of sparking debate that will contribute towards real-world outcomes. We welcome empirical, political, historical, legal and diplomatic approaches, as well as articles that discuss theoretical and disciplinary issues in an accessible way. As the purpose of this award is to communicate new ideas to the widest possible audience, entrants must avoid writing in an abstract or overly jargon-laden manner. Papers must be concise, written to engage any informed reader – including non-specialists.
From the shortlisted candidates, one paper will be awarded and win book vouchers and digital subscriptions to the value of £1500, shared across our sponsors – Edinburgh University Press, Polity, Sage, Bloomsbury, Manchester University Press, Palgrave Macmillan and Bristol University Press.
