Martha Finnemore
Martha Gail (Marty) Finnemore (born 1959)is a prominent constructivist scholar of international relations, and a professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University. She is best known for her books: National Interests in International Society and The Purpose of Intervention which helped to pioneer constructivism. In 2009, a survey of over 2700 international relations faculty in ten countries named her one of the twenty five most influential scholars in the discipline, and one of the five scholars whose work in the last five years has been the most interesting;an earlier survey of over 1000 American international relations faculty also ranked her similarly in both categories.
Finnemore completed her B.A. at Harvard, followed by an M.A. from the University of Sydney and a Ph.D. in 1991 from Stanford. Her husband, David Furth,is acting chief of the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission.
