Stuart A. Bremer Award for

Best Graduate Student Paper The Stuart A. Bremer Award is presented to the author(s) of the best graduate student paper delivered at each year’s Peace Science Society meeting. Papers eligible for consideration include those associated with poster presentations made at the meeting as well as those presented at the meeting’s regular sessions. Co-authored papers may be considered for the award, but only if all of the authors are graduate students at the time of the meeting. The author or authors of the winning paper receives travel support of $1500 to present the paper at the 2015 meeting of the Network of European Peace Scientists. The winner will be selected on the basis of the paper’s potential scientific significance and its contribution to the study of peace science. Nomination must be made by one of the authors of the paper. For consideration, papers must be sent electronically (and preferably as a PDF file) to Glenn Palmer ([email protected]) by October 24, 2014. The winning paper will be announced in January, 2015.

Walter Isard Award for Best

Dissertation in Peace Science

The Walter Isard Award for the Best Dissertation in Peace Science honors outstanding contributions to the scientific knowledge of peace and conflict. Nominations for the 2016 award—open to dissertations defended between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2016—are now being accepted. Competition is open to students of any nationality who successfully defend a doctoral dissertation on the subject of peace science, conflict behavior, international relations, or a related topic. Any member of the individual’s dissertation committee may nominate the dissertation for consideration for the award. Please send nominations to the Executive Director by email at [email protected]. The deadline for nominations is June 1, 2016. The award will be presented at the Society’s 2016 meeting.

The Peace Science Society (International) operates as

an objective, scientific organization without political, so-

cial, financial or national bias. Its objectives are to fos-

ter the exchange of ideas and promote studies focusing

on issues of peace and conflict utilizing tools, methods

and theoretical frameworks drawn from the social and

natural sciences, law, engineering, and other disciplines

and professions. A primary concern of the Society is

the improvement of social science theory as it relates to

world politics. Membership in the Peace Science Socie-

ty is open to all individuals.

Peace Science Society on the Web The Peace Science Society World Wide Web site can be found at:

The Peace Science web site gives information about the Society and its ac-

tivities, including past and upcoming conferences.
