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. Previous winners have explored a wide range of global policy themes, including rich countries’ approach to migration; the future of territorial conquest; and how the World Trade Organization has transformed China.
