WINNERS
OF SECTION AWARDS FOR 2007*
Award Committees:
Appointed by president, drawn from a list of names developed
in consultation with the executive committee. The scope of awards
has gradually expanded: in 1993 the first book award was made;
in 1994 it was named the Luebbert Award, in memory of Gregory
M. Luebbert; in 1995 the Luebbert Article Award was added and
in 1997 a Sage Paper Award, sponsored by Sage Publications,
was added for the best paper in comparative politics presented
at the annual APSA meeting. In 1999 a Data Set Award was added.
The book and article award committees have customarily considered
books and articles published in the two years prior to the year
in which the award is made, whereas the paper prize committee
considers only papers given at the national APSA meeting immediately
prior to the year in which the award is made. The Data Set Award
has focused on both new and old data sets.
