Call for Submissions: Otto Hieronymi Prize for International Relations

The Otto Hieronymi Prize is a bi-annual book prize for the best scholarly monograph in the field of International Relations (including Political Science, International Economics, Diplomatic History, International Public Law, and Humanitarian, Migration/Refugee Issues). The prize was created and sponsored by the faculty of the Department of International Relations at Webster University Geneva in 2019 to honor Dr. Otto Hieronymi, former head of the Department and founder of the annual International Humanitarian & Security Conference (www.webster.ch/ihsc).

See the 2019 prize recipients here.

Submissions for this prize are open to all History, Politics and International Relations scholars worldwide. The Department of International Relations at Webster University Geneva administers the competition for the award, consisting of CHF 1’500 and a plaque, through an independent committee composed of two Webster University faculty members and one external scholar.
