Jean Blondel PhD Prize
In October 2003 the ECPR created its annual PhD prize for the best thesis
in Politics (broadly conceived to include International Relations,
Political Theory and Public Administration) awarded at a full
ECPR member institution. In 2005 the Prize was
named after ECPR founding father, Jean Blondel.

The PhD Prize links in with two other ECPR activities:
- the biennial Graduate
Conference, which alternates with the
General Conference, the first of which
was held at the University of Essex in
September 2006;
- the ECPR Monographs series. Part of the remit of this series is the publication
of research monographs by new entrants to the profession that are based
on outstanding doctoral dissertations.
The PhD Prize is judged by a committee drawn from the editorial board of ECPR Press and
chaired by ECPR Press' co-editor, Dr Dario Castiglione, Department of Politics, University of Exeter.
The 2010 shortlist for the Jean
Blondel Prize for the best Political Science
thesis has been announced
This year ECPR Press received a record
number of entrants that were of an
exceptionally high quality and narrowing
the short-list down to just five was not
an easy task.
The five short-listed nominations are:
Amandine Bled Orsini, Universite de
Bordeaux (Sciences Po Bordeaux)
Francesco Giumelli, Istituto Italiano di
Scienze Umane
Laura Valentini, University College
London
Martino Maggetti, Université de Lausanne

A final decision on the winner one the
winner will be made by the end of July and
announced as soon as possible after that
