"It is with great enthusiasm that we聽present聽the Distinguished Scholar Award to Dr. Juliet Johnson. Dr. Johnson鈥檚 scholarship has been pathbreaking in advancing our understanding of the political economy of post-communist transformation and reshaping debates in聽international聽political economy. Her two landmark books 鈥� A Fistful of Rubles and Priests of Prosperity 鈥� are widely recognized as foundational texts on the evolution of banking and central banking in Russia and post-Soviet states. These studies combine deep empirical research with theoretical sophistication, illuminating how international norms, professional networks, and domestic politics have interacted to shape financial governance across the region. Her pioneering analyses of central bank independence, currency politics, and financial nationalism have provided frameworks that will guide scholars for years to come. Beyond her scholarly achievements, Dr. Johnson has provided exceptional service to our field. She has twice served as lead editor of the Review of International Political Economy, including stepping in during a period of crisis to stabilize and guide the journal. As chair of ISA鈥檚 IPE section, as president of the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies, and as a mentor to聽numerous聽junior scholars, Dr. Johnson has nurtured an inclusive and dynamic intellectual environment. Her generosity, intellectual leadership, and unwavering dedication make her richly deserving of the IPE Distinguished Scholar Award."聽
