Stuart A. Bremer Award for
Best Graduate Student Paper The Stuart A. Bremer Award is presented to the author(s) of the best graduate student paper delivered at each year’s Peace Science Society meeting. Papers eligible for consideration include those associated with poster presentations made at the meeting as well as those presented at the meeting’s regular sessions. Co-authored papers may be considered for the award, but only if all of the authors are graduate students at the time of the meeting. The author or authors of the winning paper receives travel support of $1500 to present the paper at the 2015 meeting of the Network of European Peace Scientists. The winner will be selected on the basis of the paper’s potential scientific significance and its contribution to the study of peace science. Nomination must be made by one of the authors of the paper. For consideration, papers must be sent electronically (and preferably as a PDF file) to Glenn Palmer ([email protected]) by October 24, 2014. The winning paper will be announced in January, 2015.

an objective, scientific organization without political, so-
cial, financial or national bias. Its objectives are to fos-
ter the exchange of ideas and promote studies focusing
on issues of peace and conflict utilizing tools, methods
