Keith Darden, Ph.D., University of California Berkeley, 2000 is Assistant Professor of Political Science. His primary avenues of research concern the role of economic, religious and national ideas in shaping political order, but he has also written about patterns of insurgent violence, political corruption, and other topics pertaining to post-Communist Eurasia. His first book, “Economic Liberalism and the Formation of International Institutions Among the Post-Soviet States” will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2007. He is currently finishing his second book manuscript, entitled “The Causes and Consequences of Enduring National Loyalties,” which explores how the national identities initially introduced to a community through schools account for subsequent patterns of voting, secession, and resistance to foreign occupation. Prof. Darden is co-editor of the Cambridge University Press Series on Problems in International Politics and has been a Fellow at the Wissenschaftszentrum in Berlin, the Davis Center for Russian Studies, and the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies. In 2006-7 he is teaching the Senior Colloquium, the graduate field seminar in International Relations, Nationalism and Identity, and the Evolution of International Politics.
