Ed A. Hewett Book Prize
2001 competition
The American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS), in
conjunction with the National Council for Eurasian and East European
Research (NCEEER) announces the 2001 competition for the Ed A. Hewett Book
Prize. Ed Hewett was a distinguished scholar, a fine colleague, and an
internationally respected member of the field. The Hewett Prize was
established in 1994 in his honor to recognize and encourage the high
standard of scholarship that he so admirably advanced in the area of his
interests. The prize is awarded annually for an outstanding publication on
the political economy of the centrally planned economies of the former
Soviet Union and East Central Europe and their transitional successors.
Only works published in English during the previous year will be considered.
