SUMMARY:Monsoon Book Prizes
DESCRIPTION:The Monsoon book Prize is established by the German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech) with the objective of encouraging and celebrating research\, production\, and publication in the field of Indian Ocean Studies globally. The role of Oman in the Indian Ocean trade and Monsoon navigation has been fundamental in creating a shared heritage and shaping now a booming economic region. In recognition of the importance of the oldest body of water that has facilitated trade and subsequently created a shared heritage\, GUtech established the Research Center for the Indian Ocean (RIO) in 2018. RIO is a leading center of knowledge and pioneering international and interregional research center. The Monsoon Prize for the Indian Ocean Studies helps to catalyze the role of RIO and the Sultanate of Oman in this domain. GUtech previously collaborated with Georgia State University (GSU) and ran a pilot round of the prize in 2024 with an award ceremony held at the GSU in April 2025. For the next prize\, to be awarded in 2027\, GUtech plans to collaborate with Harvard University Asian Studies Center. The Monsoon Book Prize for the Indian Ocean is awarded to three scholarily books published from January 1\, 2024 to June 30\, 2026. The following domains has been identified: \n\nHeritage\, history and culture\nAnthropology\, sociology and political economy\nOcean economy and sustainabilit\n\n			\n				Know More
