For the occasion, we are thrilled to welcome Prof. Terry L. Karl, the 2023 LASA Guillermo O'Donnell Democracy Award Recipient, for the launch lecture. Thanks to the generous support of its founder, Prof. Gabriela Ippolito-O'Donnell, this new IPSA award is meant to reward a Latin American scholar with residence in the region who is working on pioneering and innovative research in political science. The recipient is awarded a monetary prize of $3000 USD and invited to give a lecture at the World Congress of Political Science. Given in honor of Prof. Guillermo O'Donnell, a distinguished Argentine political scientist, the prize will be awarded for the first time at the 2025 World Congress of Political Science.
