2014 APSA Doris Graber Award goes to Rasmus Kleis Nielsen

Congratulations to Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, who has won the American Political Science Association’s 2014 Doris Graber Award for his book 'Ground Wars: Personalized Communication in Political Campaigns', published by Princeton University Press in 2012.

The award is given to recognize the best book published on political communication in the last ten years.

In the book, Rasmus analyzes how American political campaigns use volunteers and low-paid part-time workers to contact voters at home, how these contacts play out at the door and over the phone, how these voter contact programs are organized, how they are targeted, and what their increasing importance in recent years mean for democracy.
