Garcia-Johnson Receives International Honor

Ronie Garcia-JohnsonRonie Garcia-Johnson, assistant professor of environmental policy, received the 2001 Harold and Margaret Sprout Award from the International Studies Association (ISA) for her book, "Exporting Environmentalism, U.S. Multinational Chemical Corporations in Brazil and Mexico."

The annual award, established in 1972 and sponsored by the ISA's Environmental Studies Section, honors the best book or article published in the previous two years that makes a significant contribution to the study of international environmental policy or political issue, either with an international or comparative perspective.

Garcia-Johnson received the honor and a $250 prize at the ISA's recent conference in Chicago. Her book, published by MIT Press in June 2000, examines industry's transnational promotion of environmental ideas, and practices and challenges other theoretical approaches to the study of international environmental politics.

The ISA, which has worldwide membership, is one of the most widely known scholarly associations in the field of international studies.
