Bestowed by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre Dame, the prize is awarded annually "to the author of the best book in European studies that transcends a focus on any one country, state or people to stimulate new ways of thinking about contemporary Europe as a whole." Director of the Nanovic Institute, A. James McAdams, praised Grzymała-Busse’s work: "This is a remarkable book. It will fundamentally change the way scholars assess the power of churches in European democracies.”
