As part of the Multilateral Action Research Group (GRAM), the jury for the Léon Bourgeois Thesis Prize has reached its decision following deliberations.

The Léon Bourgeois Prize has been awarded to Raphaël Orange-Leroy (CY Cergy Paris University) for his thesis entitled: TL’Autre côté de la pièce. Les pays en développement, la CNUCED et le FMI dans les renégociations du système de Bretton Woods (1961-1976). His work offers an in-depth analysis of the role of developing countries and the institutional dynamics that marked this key period in international economic relations.

The jury also awarded a special mention to Alix Defrain-Meunier (Sciences Po) for her thesis: L'Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM) : d’un comité provisoire à une organisation apparentée à l'Organisation des Nations unies. Analyse du changement d'une organisation internationale, which provides a detailed insight into the structural and political evolution of the IOM.

Congratulations to both winners for the quality and importance of their work.
