Sussex International Theory Prize 2022
The Centre for Advanced International Theory invites nominations for the Sussex International Theory Prize 2022 for the best piece of research in International Relations published in book form in 2021.
In 2011, the Centre for Advanced International Theory (CAIT) was established by the Department of International Relations within the School of Global Studies of the University of Sussex. The core mission of the Centre is to support and disseminate innovative fundamental research in international theory, free of the requirement for direct policy relevance. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/cait/
To this end, the Sussex International Theory Prize is awarded annually for the best piece of innovative theoretical research in International Relations. Last year’s Prize was awarded to Rahul Rao, Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (Oxford University Press, 2020).
Eligibility:
• The work should be in International Relations, broadly conceived – including sub-fields.
• The work must have been published in 2021: judged by copyright date.
• Nominations should be for research monographs only: edited volumes, textbooks, articles and book chapters are not eligible.
Submission/Nomination:
• The award is made annually on the basis of nominations by individuals, publishers and peers.
• Nominations should take the form of a statement of less than 200 words on why the work could be considered the best piece of innovative theoretical research in International Relations from the previous year.
• Nominators (including publishers) are limited to one submission.
• It is the nominator’s responsibility to contact the publisher and request that 7 hard copies (e-books not accepted) of the title be sent by the nomination deadline to:
Centre for Advanced International Theory

Falmer, East Sussex, BN1 9SJ

• Nominations must be submitted by 29 April, 5pm, to cait@sussex.ac.uk. Book copies must also arrive by this date.
