Brian Burgoon

Brian Burgoon received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1998, and has been at the University of Amsterdam - where he works as a senior lecturer in the political science department - since Autumn 2000. 

His research focuses primarily on three projects.  The first, "Reimbedding Liberalism: Political and Policy Responses to Economic Globalization," investigates the different policy and political responses to the vagaries of international economic openness -- varying attempts to rebuild the fallen domestic and international compromises of 'embedded liberalism' of the post-War economic order.  The second, "Worlds of Working Time," investigates the politics of working time in industrialized countries, emphasizing the role of macro-political economy struggles that underlie very different working time patterns across OECD countries.  And a third project focuses on developments in the political economy of post-Cold War conflict and grand strategy. 

His work has appeared in a range of book chapters and academic journals, including International Organization, Politics and Society, Journal of Conflict Resolution, and Review of International Studies.  Before coming to the ASSR he taught at Johns Hopkins SAIS, Brandeis University, Harvard, and MIT.
