The 2024 E-International Relations Article Award, sponsored by Edinburgh University Press, Polity, Sage, Bloomsbury and Routledge

E-International Relations invites PhD / doctoral students (at any stage) and early career academics (within 5 years of submitting their PhD) to prepare articles outlining novel, or under appreciated, ideas that contribute to a better understanding of international relations. The award welcomes articles on the widest range of topics, so long as they connect their subject matter to a global or regional issue – ideally with the aim of sparking debate that will contribute towards real-world outcomes. We welcome empirical, political, historical, legal and diplomatic approaches, as well as articles that discuss theoretical and disciplinary issues in an accessible way. As the purpose of this award is to communicate new ideas to the widest possible audience, entrants must avoid writing in an abstract or overly jargon-laden manner. Papers must be concise, written to engage any informed reader – including non-specialists. The criteria we have placed below will assist entrants in writing in a suitable way for the award.

The prize for this year’s award is publication on our website and £1000 in books

The shortlisted papers will be copy-edited and published on E-International Relations and promoted across all our social media channels to allow the ideas expressed to reach our audience of 3+ million readers. From the shortlisted papers, one winner will be awarded and given book vouchers to the value of £1000 from our sponsors at Edinburgh University Press, Polity, Sage, Bloomsbury and Routledge. The winner will also have access to Sage’s online Learning Resources.

Entry criteria

1) Applicants must be a single author who is enrolled as a PhD / doctoral candidate (at any stage) or be an early-career academic who has been awarded their PhD within the last 5 years (we can give or take a little here, so don’t worry too much if you are marginally outside this). We do not allow co-authored or group authored articles for this award.

2) Papers must be between 3500–5000 words, including references and citations. As references are included in the word count, keep referencing and quotation to a minimum and only cite where you are directly referring to essential literature/ideas.

3) You must write in a direct way to maximise the impact of your piece and allow your ideas to be understood by as wide an audience as possible.

You must format your article as follows
