The 2019 Edgar S. Furniss Book Award was awarded to Dmitry Chernobrov for his book Public Perception of International Crises: Identity, Ontological Security and Self-Affirmation (Rowman & Littlefield International). In the book, Chernobrov combines international relations and psychosocial studies to show how the imagining of international politics is shaped by the need for positive and continuous societal self-concepts.
The Mershon Center's Furniss Book Award commemorates the founding director of the Mershon Center and is given annually to an author whose first book makes an exceptional contribution to the study of national and international security.
Please join us on March 3 where Chernobrov will join us to discuss his book and have time for Q&A and open discussion. Attendees will receive a 30 percent discount code for Chernobrov's book for attending the event.
