James Brown’s paper “A Stereotype, Wrapped in a Cliché, Inside a Caricature: Russian Foreign Policy and Orientalism” has been awarded the Political Studies Association’s prize for best paper published in Politics in 2010.

According to the PSA: “The jury particularly liked the way the article applied a classic work to a contemporary political issue. The article made a clear argument and was accessibly and engagingly written. Moreover the piece is likely to provoke/encourage the more serious consideration of Orientalism in other areas of research.”

The prize was presented at the PSA conference in London on 20 April 2011.
