Neta Crawford, Brown University and University of Massachusetts, Amherst

I am an associate professor (research) of international studies at Brown University and associate professor of political science at the University of Massacusetts, Amherst. I am currently on the editorial board and executive committee of the American Political Science Review. I am also on the Committee on Slavery and Justice at Brown which seeks to examines the university's relationship to slavery and the slave trade.

Neta Crawford

My research interests include international relations theory, normative theory, foreign policy decisionmaking, African foreign and military policy, sanctions, peace movements, discourse ethics, research design, utopian science fiction, and emotion. I have a Ph.D. in political science from MIT and a bachelor of arts from Brown University. At Brown my independent concentration was “The War System and Alternatives to Militarism.” I wrote my senior thesis on the genesis and effects of military rule in Ghana from 1960–1984.

I am the author recently of Argument and Change in World Politics: Ethics, Decolonization, Humanitarian Intervention (Cambridge University Press, 2002) which was a co-winner of the 2003 APSA International History and Politics section Jervis and Schroeder Award for best book. I am co-editor of How Sanctions Work: Lessons from South Africa (MacMillan, 1999). My articles have been published in books and journals such as International Organization, Security Studies, Perspectives on Politics, International Security, Ethics & International Affairs, Press/Politics, Africa Today and, most recently, Qualitative Methods.

I do some community and professional service related to my research interests. For example, I am a member of the advisory board of the Project on Defense Alternatives, based in Cambridge, MA. In 2000, I co-organized a research meeting in South Africa for the SSRC of young African and N. American scholars of security so that both sides could get to know each other, and hopefully stimulate each other's research. I have appeared on radio and TV and written op-eds on U.S. foreign policy and international relations for newspapers including the Boston Globe, Newsday (Long Island), The Christian Science Monitor, and the LA Times.

I became a political scientist because I am interested in making the world a better place. Of course, APSA is not the “world” but only a small part of it. I would view my participation in the council, if elected, as part of the larger ongoing effort to make APSA better—more inclusive, relevant, effective, and engaged in contemporary problems facing political scientists and the world.

Council 2004–2006

Gibson has eclectic research interests, but his recent work focuses on mass psychology and behavior and democratization in the United States, Europe, and Africa. He is interested in understanding how and why ordinary people think the way they do about political issues (especially political tolerance and issues of justice) and how such thinking translates into public policy and democratic reform. In addition to his continuing research on democratization in Russia and truth, justice, and reconciliation in South Africa, Gibson is working on a new study of the problem of historical injustices and “land reconciliation” in South Africa, and is beginning a new project on public reactions to the Greensboro (North Carolina) Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

His books include: The Ethiopian Transformation: The Quest for the Post-Imperial State, Nation Building in Kenya: The Role of Land Reform, Civil Society and the State in Africa (co-edited with Donald Rothchild and Naomi Chazan), Africa in World Politics (3^rd. edition, co-edited with Donald Rothchild), The Military in African Politics (ed.), and Responsible Government: The Global Challenge (co-edited with Raymond Hopkins and David Smith). He has written over 70 articles and book chapters and an equal number of conference papers. His teaching interests include political theory and international relations as well as comparative politics.

He has been a Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace and a Visiting Fellow of the Center of International Studies at Princeton University. While on leave from his academic positions, he twice served in the U.S. Agency for International Development, most recently as Regional Democracy and Governance Advisor for Eastern and Southern Africa. Harbeson received grants from the MacArthur Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies. He has taught at the Universities of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Nairobi, Kenya and as a professorial lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University Paul Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.
