I’ve long warned promised that I would start flogging these awards in a serious way. Due, in part to some prodding from SAGE, that time has now come. Here’s where we stand:

Nominees for Best Blog (Group):

Nominees for Best Blog (Individual):

Nominees for Most Promising New Blog:

Nominees for Best Blog Post:

These are great nominations, but it seems to me that our readers are making it too easy on the current nominees. There’s a lot more quality out there than this; regional and area-studies blogs that fit our criteria are particularly badly underrepresented.

You may add nominations in the comments section or email them. If you want to guarantee yourself a right to vote, also let me know. Procedures here.

Daniel H. Nexon is a Professor at Georgetown University, with a joint appointment in the Department of Government and the School of Foreign Service. His academic work focuses on international-relations theory, power politics, empires and hegemony, and international order. He has also written on the relationship between popular culture and world politics.

He has held fellowships at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation and at the Ohio State University's Mershon Center for International Studies. During 2009-2010 he worked in the U.S. Department of Defense as a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellow. He was the lead editor of International Studies Quarterly from 2014-2018.

He is the author of The Struggle for Power in Early Modern Europe: Religious Conflict, Dynastic Empires, and International Change (Princeton University Press, 2009), which won the International Security Studies Section (ISSS) Best Book Award for 2010, and co-author of Exit from Hegemony: The Unraveling of the American Global Order (Oxford University Press, 2020). His articles have appeared in a lot of places. He is the founder of the The Duck of Minerva, and also blogs at Lawyers, Guns and Money.

    Why is there no nomination for Duck of Minerva?

    If so, can I put one in?

      We’re flattered, but the Duck of Minerva is ineligible for awards (guest bloggers are eligible for their activities at other sites). Wouldn’t be proper.

    Best blog (group): Abu Muquwama (which is now a group).

    Best blog (individual): International Political Economy Zone (I believe the most-read IPE blog not associated with a publication).
