The RIS Best Article Prize is awarded annually by the editorial board of Review of International Studies (RIS) for the best article to be published in the previous year's volume.
BISA and the editorial team from Review of International Studies, are delighted to announce the winner of the 2022 Review of International Studies Best Article Prize:
Daniel Lambach - Space, scale, and global politics: Towards a critical approach to space in international relations
The prize judges noted that:
‘This is a well-written article that addresses an important conceptual issue relevant to many different areas of IR scholarship. The author engages with and effectively translates relevant work in geography, sociology, and anthropology to present an easily accessible yet sophisticated heuristic model that advances our ability to theorise and analyse spatial questions. The approach expands our spatial vocabulary beyond territory to acknowledge alternative spatial forms (e.g. place, scale, network, body and landscape) and encourages inquiry about how different forms of space emerge, are reinforced, and interact in a given context. Throughout the manuscript, [the author] acknowledges the 'pluralism of contemporary IR' with both explicit and implicit references to many different theoretical perspectives and substantive fields.’
