Ed A. Hewett Book Prize
2001 competition

The American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS), in 
conjunction with the National Council for Eurasian and East European 
Research (NCEEER) announces the 2001 competition for the Ed A. Hewett Book 
Prize. Ed Hewett was a distinguished scholar, a fine colleague, and an 
internationally respected member of the field. The Hewett Prize was 
established in 1994 in his honor to recognize and encourage the high 
standard of scholarship that he so admirably advanced in the area of his 
interests. The prize is awarded annually for an outstanding publication on 
the political economy of the centrally planned economies of the former 
Soviet Union and East Central Europe and their transitional successors. 
Only works published in English during the previous year will be considered.
