Soon, became a familiar figure on the opinion pages of the most respected newspapers on multiple continents, on television screens explaining the intricacies of the international political economy, and in the halls of major international organizations calling for a more just and sustainable international economic order. Today, he is counted amongst the world\u2019s most prominent public intellectuals calling for the reform of the institutions of global economic governance.<\/p>\n “Kevin has demonstrated what it means to be a public scholar of international affairs with a consistency of purpose, with intellectual integrity, with great personal dignity, and often with a dose of good humor,” said Pardee School Dean Adil Najam<\/a> in imparting this award. “His career exemplifies the very essence of this award\u2019s purpose, and he has set a high bar for those who will follow him.”<\/p>\n The presentation of the 2022 Adil Najam Prize can be viewed below.<\/p>\n
