This month we launched the 2025 run of our annual Article Award, sponsored by Edinburgh University Press, Polity, Sage, Bloomsbury, Manchester University Press, Palgrave Macmillan and Bristol University Press.
The award welcomes articles on the widest range of topics from early careers scholars and research students, with the aim of sparking debate that will contribute towards real-world outcomes. It comes with a prize of publication, and £1500 in academic books and subscriptions.
Could we kindly request that you share this link around your departments/schools, colleagues, friends, and to anyone you feel would be interested in this exciting opportunity? Readers of this newsletter are most welcome to enter if eligible.
Check out Thinking Global wherever you get your podcasts, and subscribe to get our latest episodes if you have not yet done so. Our latest episode features Mark Juergensmeyer who speaks about religious conflict, religious nationalism, a methodology for researching where religion and global politics meet, and more.
Finally, Joseph Nye shaped how the world understands power, diplomacy, and global leadership. The Thinking Global team were amongst the last to interview him before his passing earlier this month, aged 88. We also had the pleasure to interview him on two earlier occasions, in 2013 and in 2015.
