The More War, The Less State | Deborah Boucoyannis | NDISC Seminar Series

Описание: Deborah Boucoyannis specializes in comparative politics, especially the theoretical and historical origins of liberalism and the state. Her book, published with Cambridge University Press, identifies the origins of parliamentary regimes and the institutional preconditions to state building.

It is the first systematic account of how structures of justice led to the emergence of representative institutions and state-formation in Western Europe. It received the Honorable Mention for the APSA European Politics and Society's Best Book Award and was shortlisted for the Gregory Luebbert Best Book Award. It is based on a dissertation that received the APSA Ernst Haas Best Dissertation Award in European Politics and the Seymour Martin Lipset Best Dissertation Award from the Society for Comparative Research.

She has also published in international relations, especially on the interconnections with political theory and comparative politics and on the political theory/economy of early liberalism. Her work has appeared in Perspectives on Politics, Politics and Society, and other journals.

She is currently working on the role of clans, lineages, and social structures in the construction of power and other projects.

Her Ph.D. is from the University of Chicago. She currently teaches at George Washington University. She was an Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia, and prior to that, she was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University and a Lecturer in the Committee on Social Studies at Harvard.
