Deadline: 15 March 2002

 

FROM:  Paul J. Quirk

 

Dear Colleagues:

 

Make sure to encourage your publisher to submit any book you have written that you would like to have considered for the Charles H. Levine Memorial Book Prize.  The Levine Book Prize is awarded every year for the best book published in the fields of public policy and administration.  The prize is sponsored by the International Political Science Association's Research Committee on the Structure of Governance.  It is named in honor of Charles H. Levine, who was a distinguished member of the Research Committee and served on the editorial board of its official journal, Governance.  To be eligible for this year's prize, books must have a copyright date of 2001.

 

The criteria for the award are as follows:

 

1.         that the book makes a contribution of theoretical and/or practical significance in the field of public policy and administration;

 

2.         that it takes an explicitly comparative perspective, or produces findings whose implications for comparative research are highly significant; and

 

3.         that it appears in an accessible writing style and form so that both scholars and practitioners might find it valuable to their research and work.

 

Publishers should send copies of the book with a brief letter of nomination to each of the three members of the selection committee, by March 15 2002.
