PasquinoPhotoWe are very pleased to announce that CONGRIPS’ Executive Committee and Liason Officers have selected Professor Gianfranco Pasquino as recipient of the 2016 CONGRIPS Life Achievement Award.

 

 

Author of a long list of books, textbooks and scientific articles, past editor of prestigious journals like Il Mulino and Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica, longstanding analyst of the Italian political scene for daily newspapers like Il Sole 24 Ore and La Repubblica, and former President of the Italian Political Science Society (SISP), professor Pasquino has undoubtedly made the significant contribution to the study of Italian politics and society that make him a deserving recipient of the award, following the footsteps of the likes of Norman Kogan (2004), Robert Evans (2006), Joseph La Palombara (2008), Robert Putnam (2010), Sidney Tarrow (2012) and Giuseppe di Palma (2014). Now emeritus professor at the University of Bologna, as well as professor of European Studies at the Bologna Center of Johns Hopkins University, professor Pasquino also taught in the past at the Universities of Florence, Harvard, California Los Angeles and at the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, thus both expanding the interest on the study of Italian politics abroad and bringing an international perspective to the understanding of the Italian political system. We look forward to recognising Prof. Pasquino’s scientific achievements at the forthcoming APSA Annual Conference in Philadelphia.
