Daniel Nexon just completed his doctorate at Columbia University. In
2001-2002, he was a MacArthur Consortium Fellow at Stanford University's
Center for International Security and Cooperation. He has published articles
and chapters on international relations theory, globalization, and American
foreign policy. His broad interests involve the relationship between culture
and international politics, as well as on comparative-historical analysis
of international institutions and politics, and he is currently exploring
how the dynamics of historical empires do and do not shed light on the
dilemmas of US international primacy.
