Toynbee Prize
The Toynbee Prize Foundation was chartered in 1987 to contribute to
the development of the social sciences, as defined from a broad historical
view of human society and of human and social problems. Among its activities,
the Foundation has awarded the Toynbee Prize for social scientists who
have made significant academic and public contributions to humanity.
Among its past recipients are Raymond Aron, Lord Kenneth Clark, Sir
Ralf Dahrendorf, Natalie Zeman Davis, Albert Hirschman, George Kennan,
Bruce Mazlish, Jean-Paul Sartre, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and Barbara
Ward, Lady Jackson. The Foundation also undertakes to foster the social
sciences, historically conceived, by means of various initiatives. Prime
among these, so far, has been The New Global History project, as demonstrated
by this web site.
