"Charles Tilly is one of the most distinguished of all contemporary social scientists. He is the most influential analyst of social movements and contentious politics, a pathbreaker in the historical sociology of the state, a pivotal theorist of social inequality."- Craig Calhoun, SSRC President
"Professor Rodrik's work on development economics exemplifies the social science values and engagements evident in Albert Hirschman's work, as well as the kind of necessary knowledge the Social Science Research Council aims to bring to public affairs."- Craig Calhoun, SSRC President
