Daniel W. Drezner (born August 23, 1968) is an American political scientist. He is known for his scholarship and commentary on International Relations and International Political Economy.[2]

He is professor of international politics at

The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He is also a nonresident senior fellow at the Project on International Order and Strategy at the Brookings Institution.[3]

Drezner also co-hosts The Nation's "Space The Nation" podcast, which "looks at science fiction through the lens of political science".[4]

Early life and education

He was born in 1968 in Syracuse, New York, but spent his first 10 years living in six different places before settling in Avon, Connecticut where he graduated from

Ph.D. degree from Stanford University.[7][8] International relations professor Stephen Krasner was his advisor at Stanford.[1]

Political views

Drezner rarely discusses his political loyalties, but in 2011 he wrote: "I find liberals write 'even conservative Dan Drezner...' while conservatives often deploy terms like 'academic elitist' or 'RINO.' In my case, at this point in time, I believe that last appellation to be entirely fair and accurate. I'm not a Democrat, and I don't think I've become more liberal over time."[9]

Drezner supported the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, writing that "a successful invasion not only eliminates the Iraqi threat, but over the long run it reduces the Arab resentment that feeds Al-Qaeda."[10]

Drezner was a signatory to a March 2016 open letter by Republican national security community members that opposed Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for U.S. president.[11] Drezner announced in July 2017 that he is no longer part of the Republican Party.[12] In October 2017, he recommended resignation to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.[13]

Books and commentary

Drezner has published columns, essays, and op-eds in many media outlets, including The New Republic,[14] Foreign Affairs,[15] Foreign Policy,[16] The New York Times, Slate,[17] Tech Central Station, and The Wall Street Journal. He has also been a frequent guest on Bloggingheads.tv and various other broadcast media. He originally blogged on his website, DanielDrezner.com, but moved in January 2009 to become a contributing blogger at ForeignPolicy.com.[18] Drezner then moved to The Washington Post in 2014.[19] He has moderated and spoken at various Council on Foreign Relations events.[20]

Drezner's 2007 book, All Politics Is Global: Explaining International Regulatory Regimes, looked at international

G. John Ikenberry in Foreign Affairs comments: "His main contribution, however, is to explode a popular notion of globalization and thereby to set an agenda for the study of global regulatory politics. For social movements seeking to shape the governance of the world economy, all roads still lead to the state."[21]

Drezner's 2011 book, Theories of International Politics and Zombies, speculated about different ways the international community might respond to a zombie outbreak, although he "concedes that the statistical probability of such an event is extremely difficult to determine but generally thought to be low." Oliver Stuenkel, writing in Post-Western World, commented: "Drezner's book is a must-read for young international relations scholars, considering the vast attention this topic is likely to get in the future."[22]

Drezner's 2014 book, The System Worked: How the World Stopped Another Great Depression, examines the

financial crisis of 2007–2008. In it, Drezner praises the international response to the crisis and says that a major economic depression was averted. Jonathan Kirshner, in his review in Boston Review, said the book was "smart, thoughtful, and important" but disagreed with Drezner on the issues of free trade and globalization.[23]
