Monash GPS Executive Member Wins Prestigious 2024 AIPEN Richard Higgott Journal Article Prize
Dr. Elliot Dolan-Evans, a distinguished executive member of the Monash Global Peace and Security Centre, has been awarded the 2024 Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN) Richard Higgott Journal Article Prize.
Dr. Dolan-Evans received this esteemed recognition for his article, “Pipes, profits and peace: Toward a feminist political economy of gas during war,” published in the highly regarded Review of International Political Economy has won the 2024 Australian International Political Economy Network (AIPEN) Richard Higgott Journal Article Prize. The article provides a pathway for integrating feminist political economy with energy security studies, and in doing so offers an important and valuable contribution to IPE. Building on existing theories and research, the article presents a novel perspective, supported by new empirical details from the case of gas reform in Ukraine and its adverse effects on women and households during wartime.

The AIPEN Prize Committee praised the article for its originality, depth of research, and theoretical rigor, emphasising its contribution to advancing critical conversations in IPE. The work not only enriches academic debates but also offers practical relevance to policymakers and practitioners navigating the complexities of energy and conflict.
This prestigious award underscores Dr. Dolan-Evans’ exceptional scholarly contributions and aligns with Monash GPS’s mission to foster transformative research addressing global peace and security challenges.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Elliot Dolan-Evans on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to his continued impact on advancing innovative, interdisciplinary scholarship.
