Home William Anderson Award The William Anderson prize is awarded annually for the best dissertation in the general field of federalism or intergovernmental relations, state and local politics. It carries a prize of $750. The award was set up in honor of William Anderson, former APSA president, who was a leading American authority in the areas of local government, public administration, intergovernmental relations and the history of political science. He did much to shape teaching and research in these fields not only at his own university, but throughout the country. 2012 William Anderson Award Recipient List of All William Anderson Award Recipients Nomination Information The deadline for nominations has passed. 2013 Award Committee Chair: Barbara Allen University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 4712 15th Ave S.
