Prof. Beatriz Magaloni: 2024 BMI Prize Laureate

Written on |

Congratulations to Prof. Magaloni on winning the esteemed 2024 BMI prize.

The Faculty of Social Sciences at Tel Aviv University has announced that it is awarding the 2024 BMI Prize to Prof. Beatriz Magaloni from Stanford University, in recognition of her significant contributions to the study of authoritarianism. This esteemed prize is presented annually by the The Boris Mints Institute for Strategic Policy Solutions to Global Challenges and highlights the impact of a senior researcher’s work in specific academic fields.

Prof. Beatriz Magaloni is a distinguished scholar in political science, renowned for her groundbreaking research on autocratic regimes and their electoral processes. She holds the position of Graham H. Stuart Professor of International Relations and is a Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. Her work has become foundational in understanding multi-party autocracies, which are increasingly prevalent forms of governance globally.

Prof. Magaloni’s research addresses critical questions regarding why autocratic regimes opt for multi-party elections and the implications of these elections for democracy. She elucidates the nuanced threats posed by civilian leaders who ascend to power through electoral means rather than military coups, offering vital insights into electoral behavior and regime stability.

Throughout her career, Prof. Magaloni has published extensively in leading journals, including the American Political Science Review and World Development. Her work is widely assigned in graduate and undergraduate courses, shaping the academic agenda for studies in comparative politics.

The award will be presented to Prof. Magaloni at the joint BMI-University of Donja Gorica Conference in Podgorica, Montenegro, on November 25th.
