Oct 22, 2024. The European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) has awarded UCLA professor Tejas Parasher (political science & International Institute) its 2024 Political Theory Prize for his book, “Radical Democracy in Modern Indian Political Thought" (Cambridge, 2023). The ECPR Political Theory Prize was introduced in 2020 to highlight the critical role of political theory in political science by celebrating outstanding contributions in the field. The prize is awarded for the best first book in political theory published in English.

The ECPR award was the second honor for Parasher's monograph. In June, he received the 2024 Best First Book Award from the Foundation of Political Theory Section of the American Political Science Association Congratulations, Tejas!
