The assessment of the search committee stated: “This article is a searing indictment of the responses of Western scholars to the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. You systematically deconstruct the counterproductive approaches of analysts who perceive themselves as well-meaning, in the process exposing the fault lines in prevailing IR methodologies for grappling with the multiple layers of imperialism that have enabled over a decade of war in Ukraine. Your concrete recommendations for ways to rectify the increasingly untenable status quo are especially valuable. This article should be required reading for everyone who works on the subject of Ukraine and the former USSR more broadly, regardless of discipline.”
The award was announced at the ASN Annual Convention at Columbia University (New York) last week.
