2013 Sussex International Theory Prize winner announced. The Centre for Advanced International Theory is pleased to announce that the 2013 Sussex International Theory Prize has been awarded to Daniel J. Levine (University of Alabama) for his book, Recovering International Relations: the Promise of Sustainable Critique (Oxford University Press, 2012) . The Sussex International Theory Prize is awarded annually each autumn for the best piece of innovative theoretical research in International Relations published in book or article form in the previous year and aims to value outstanding innovative theoretical research in International Relations. This is the second year of the Prize which is organised by the (CAIT) in the Department of International Relations, within the School of Global Studies, University of Sussex The prize is judged by the CAIT Prize Committee and sponsored by Cambridge University Press. The judges said: " It is not often that scholars dare to speak about the vocation of their discipline. Yet, Recovering International Relations presents just such a conception of International Relations and then proceeds to bridge the gap between this normative goal and the dangers of reification inherent in conceptualising political practices by using Theodor Adorno's work to develop 'the promise of sustainable critique'. Levine is an erudite scholar who manages to combine scope with depth.
