ILASS Prize for Best Book: Mak­ing Glob­al Norms - Polit­ics versus Sci­ence in In­ter­na­tion­al Or­gan­iz­a­tions

Professor Leonard Seabrooke, Department of Organization (IOA), CBS, and Professor Alexandros Kentikelenis, Bocconi University in Milan have received the ILASS Prize for Best Book on International Law and Social Science from the American Society of International Law. The new book: Making Global Norms: Politics versus Science in International Organizations was published in Oxford University Press, 2025. In their announcement at the recent annual conference, the prize committee stated that "Making Global Norms opens the black box on how some of the most important norms underpinning globalization were made. More broadly, Alexandros Kentikelenis and Leonard Seabrooke’s book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the dynamics of international law and norms by drawing on historical, sociological and political science methods and literatures with a rare sophistication."
