Dr Hui Feng, Research Fellow with the Griffith Asia Institute and School of Government\u00a0and International Relations member has been awarded the Political Studies journal Harrison Prize\u00a0at the annual Political Studies Association Annual Conference in Sheffield, England on 31 March.<\/p>\n

The Harrison Prize 2014 was won by Dr Feng, and co-author Professor Stephen Bell (University of\u00a0Queensland) for their paper, \u2018How Proximate and \u201cMeta-institutional\u201d Contexts Shape Institutional\u00a0Change: Explaining the Rise of the People\u2019s Bank of China\u2019.<\/p>\n

The award winning paper, published in volume 62, issue 1 of Political Studies in March 2014, was\u00a0recognised by the judges of the annual Harrison Prize for both its advancement of institutional\u00a0theory and its original argument. The panel of judges deemed the paper superior in the field and\u00a0commended it on its effectiveness in addressing the key question it sought to explore and for\u00a0expertly applying \u2018an innovative theoretical framework that evidently has broader application\u2019. As a\u00a0theoretical exemplar, the panel also found that the paper had a strong practical outcome in\u00a0advancing the understanding of political decision-making processes as they develop in complex\u00a0environments.<\/p>\n

Authors\u2019 Note on the Paper:<\/p>\n

The paper uses historical institutionalist (HI) theory to explain institutional change. The case is the\u00a0rising authority of the People\u2019s Bank of China (PBC) amidst the steep hierarchy of the Chinese\u00a0party state. HI theory, we argue, needs to expand the scope of relevant contexts that constrain and\u00a0enable the behaviour of institutionally-situated agents. In this paper we argue that the proximate\u00a0institutional context of the PBC was important, but we also cast the net more broadly and argue that\u00a0wider ideational, policy and power contexts also empowered agents within the PBC and saw their\u00a0authority increase over time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
