Fritz ScharpfFrom his early work through his most recent articles (e.g., “The European Social Model: Coping with the Challenges of Diversity” (JCMS, 2002), Scharpf has arguably done more than any other scholar of his generation to illuminate the implications of European integration for both democracy and social welfare. And given that he has produced one book and eleven articles since his “retirement” in 2003, scholars in our field can no doubt look forward to continued groundbreaking work from Professor Scharpf.

Stanley Hoffmann (Harvard University) was unamimously selected by EUSA's 2001-2003 Executive Committee as the third recipient of this award."Hoffmann's scholarship and commentary on Europe and European integration have for decades been our intellectual benchmark. He has analyzed and explained the deeper logic of the building of Europe with unequaled grasp of the intersections of domestic, EU and international politics ... Without Hoffmann's wisdom and science, Europeans and Americans would not know and understand each other nearly as well as they now do." --Martin A. Schain, 2001-2003 Chair, European Union Studies Association.

The concepts, arguments, and lines of analyses he developed still serve as the intellectual foundation for theoretical work on the European Union ... the study of European integration will occupy many scholars for at least several generations, and all of them will be permanently in Lindberg's intellectual debt."--Vivien A. Schmidt, 1999-2001 Chair, European Community Studies Association.

Ernst B. Haas (University of California at Berkeley) was unanimously selected by ECSA's 1997-99 Executive Committee as the first recipient of this award."Haas' ideas and books have defined the field of European integration studies, and they remain a potent source of theory testing and elaboration today. The theory with which his name is indelibly associated--neofunctionalism--was not only the first comprehensive theory of European integration but has been by far the most influential."--Gary Marks, 1997-1999 Chair, European Community Studies Association.
