Perry World House-Foreign Affairs Emerging Scholars Policy Prize 2021

Perry World House, the University of Pennsylvania’s hub for global policy research, is partnering with Foreign Affairs, the preeminent outlet for analysis and debate of foreign policy, economics, and global affairs, for the 2021 Perry World House-Foreign Affairs Emerging Scholars Policy Prize.

The prize encourages scholars to translate their own academic work to be more accessible to policymakers in positions of influence and to advance policy debates on significant issues in global affairs. The prize recognizes outstanding, original essays on any topic related to international issues that draw on original academic research and intend to influence policy debates

Selection Criteria:

Prizes will be selected based on their overall excellence and alignment with Perry World House’s two research themes, which are:

• Global Shifts: Urbanization, Migration, and Demography. The Global Shifts theme considers the causes and consequences of human movements, focusing on the drivers of displacement, from conflict to climate change.
• The Future of the Global Order: Power, Technology, and Governance. The Future of the Global Order theme examines implications of changing global power dynamics, impacts of new technologies, and contributions of governance institutions for the future of international cooperation.

A panel of judges will select the overall winners. Submissions will be judged on policy relevance, writing quality, the importance of the policy challenge, the feasibility of its policy recommendations, and the quality of the underlying academic scholarship.

Qualifications:

• Eligibility is open to emerging scholars from around the world, including scholars at the University of Pennsylvania.
• This includes junior faculty, postdocs, and advanced Ph.D. candidates. (Tenured faculty is not eligible.)
• Other scholars are eligible to apply if they completed the relevant terminal degree in their field of study in 2015 or after (for example, a J.D.)
• One submission per person. Submissions can be co-authored, as can the underlying piece of academic scholarship. All co-authors must satisfy the eligibility requirements. If a co-authored submission receives the prize, the authors will split the award equally.
