We are pleased to inform you that our Faculty member Professor Robert Kłosowicz received the award of the Polish Africanist Society for the best Africa-related publication in 2017 in the category of ‘academic publications by authors with habilitation’ for the book entitled “The Contexts of State Dysfunctionality in Sub-Saharan Africa” (Jagiellonian University Press, Krakow 2017). The award was announced during the 5th Congress of Polish Africanists (April 23-25, 2018).

In the justification the Award Committee appreciated “[...] the methodologically underpinned and supported by field research analysis of the notion of state dysfunctionality on the examples of Sub-Saharan African countries, which allows better understanding of the grounds of statehood crises in this region of the world and contributes to the development of the studies on contemporary international relations.”
