Transition and Developing Economies Award (2025)

The International Public Policy Association awards the Transition and Developing Economies Award biennially to an academic or researcher employed on a full-time basis either in a university or a policy research centre located in a country identified as a developing or transition economy, and whose publications (book or articles) are directly related to public policy and/or public administration issues in one or more such countries.

The award recognises the outstanding contribution of a mid-career to senior scholar or researcher to the development of the field of Public Policy and/or Public Administration within either a developing or transition country context. The successful candidate will have an established record of theoretical and empirical scholarly publications as well as service to the profession.

Factors to be considered in the selection of the award winner may include: record of theoretical and empirical scholarly publications; record of applied policy work (consulting, advisory, commissioned work); established service to the profession, government, media and civil society; scholarly innovation and rigour; critical acclaim and citation (either in the scholarly domain or in public affairs); and leadership in promoting policy scholarship in developing and/or transition countries.

Self-nomination is allowed but self-nominations must be accompanied by another supporting letter from an academic and/or policy researcher in a scholarly institution or research centre.
