Kenneth E. Boulding Award
The Peace Studies Section of ISA sponsors an award in honor of Kenneth Boulding, a founder of the field of peace studies and former President of ISA. The award will be given each year as it is merited to a graduate student for an excellent research paper given at the Annual Meeting in the field of peace research. A two-year student membership in ISA and a small cash prize usable for ISA travel will be awarded.
Criteria: A research paper in peace research that is theoretically based, empirical (but not necessarily quantitative), and deals with asignificant problem in the field. Neither theory nor empiricism alone will qualify. Research which focuses on areas of peace research with which Kenneth Boulding was concerned will be preferred, but we seek excellent papers in any area of peace research, broadly defined. The paper must be presented by a graduate student at the ISA Annual Meeting. Papers in peace research from any section can be considered, but must be specifically submitted to the Peace Studies Section with a request for consideration for the award.
We welcome both submissions direct from students and nominations from panel chairs and discussants. We encourage chairs of panels and discussants to recommend excellent student papers.
You may contact the Award Committee by email: (cstephen@hawaii.edu), but please do not send papers by e-mail. Nominations are welcome at any time. For students wishing to be considered for next year's award, please send 3 copies of the paper by February 20, 2001 to Boulding Award Committee chair:
