Founded in 1950, the Political Studies Association is open to everyone interested in the study of politics and has an international membership including academics, policy-makers and the media.

With an aim to promote the study and understanding of politics, the PSA arrange two main annual events  – the awards and an international conference. Continuing to grow in prominence, the awards were held at Church House for the seventh year running and successfully attracted over 200 guests.

Following nominations by PSA members, the winners were chosen by a specially convened Awards Committee.
