I am author or co-author of ten books on international relations and U.S. foreign policy and the editor or co-editor of eight other books. In addition, I have been an advisor to presidential campaigns, to the State Department, and to the drafters of U.S. National Intelligence Estimates. My articles have appeared in scholarly journals, magazines, and leading newspapers, and my media appearances have included the major U.S. and foreign networks.
Prior to Georgetown, I taught at Harvard, Oxford, and the University of California, Davis, and have been a Visiting Fellow at the Fondation nationale des sciences politiques in Paris, the Brookings Institution in Washington, and Fudan University in Shanghai. I’ve revived fellowships from the Guggenheim, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, the Woodrow Wilson Center, Georgetown University’s Career Research Achievement Award, and the Hepburn-Shibusawa Distinguished Senior Lectureship at the University of Tokyo. Among my other credits is a walk-on part in the Alfred Hitchcock film classic, North by Northwest.
