The Ronald F. Inglehart Best Book Award on Political Culture and Values: Call for Nominations for the 2025 Award

Ronald F. Inglehart Best Book Award on Political Culture and Values recognizes original science research publications which both (i) develop theories capturing the contemporary zeitgeist and (ii) utilizes large-scale cross-national survey data monitoring culture to test the comparative evidence. The award carries a cash prize of €750, funded jointly by the WVSA and the Inglehart Family.
