My latest: Where is the Policy in Refugee Studies? Enhancing the Role of Policy Studies in the Study of Refugee Policy url: academic.oup.com/rsq/article/...

Sincere thanks to this year’s Levine Prize Committee: Akshay Mangla (chair), Diego Salazar-Morales, and Michelle Fernandez. Stay tuned for the official award announcement and details in Governance, the journal of RC27.

The committee especially praised its theoretical contributions, deep fieldwork in Jordan & Lebanon, and strong commitment to epistemic justice—amplifying Global South voices and offering actionable policy insights.

This timely and transformative book confronts the paradox of refugee governance in the Global South, where states host 83% of the world’s refugees despite limited capacity and resources. It offers an innovative, generalisable framework for analyzing refugee policy.

On behalf of IPSA’s Research Committee 27 (sponsor of @govjournal.bsky.social), I’m pleased to announce that the 2025 Levine Prize has been awarded to The Politics of Refugee Policy in the Global South by Ola G. El-Taliawi (@mcgillqueensup.bsky.social). 🏆

Happy #Canada Day! 😍🍁

I really like how Trump ends his combustible tweets with a sudden "Thank you for your attention to this matter". 😅Considering ending all my email signatures with this.
