Biography
Anne L. Clunan is an assistant professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. She earned her Ph.D. in political science at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research and teaching interests focus on the how states define and respond to new national security threats and the implications of globalization for state sovereignty and governance. Her recent publications include “The Fight Against Terrorist Financing” in Political Science Quarterly, “U.S. and International Responses to Terrorist Financing,” in Jeanne Giraldo and Harold Trinkunas, eds., Terrorism Financing and State Responses (Stanford University Press, 2007), “Globalization and the Impact of International Norms on Defense Restructuring,” in Thomas Bruneau and Harold Trinkunas, eds., Global Determinants of Defense Reform (forthcoming), “Constructing Concepts of Identity: Prospects and Pitfalls of a Sociological Approach to World Politics,” in Rudra Sil and Eileen Doherty, eds., Beyond Boundaries? Disciplines, Paradigms, and Theoretical Integration in International Studies (SUNY Press, 2000) and contributions to Mark Bevir, ed., Encyclopedia of Governance (Sage Publications, 2006) and Demetrios James Caraley, ed., Crisis in National Security: Can Terrorist Attacks and Nuclear Proliferation Be Stopped (Academy of Political Science, 2007). She is co-editor with Peter Lavoy and Susan B. Martin of Terrorism, War or Disease? Unraveling the Use of Biological Weapons (forthcoming), based on the recent CCC-sponsored conference on Identification, Characterization and Attribution of Biological Weapons Use. She recently completed a book manuscript, History, Reason, Identity and the Sources of Russian Security Policy, which investigates how post-Soviet Russia developed its national security interests in times of dramatic change. She frequently gives papers at the American Political Science Association Annual Meeting and the International Studies Association Annual Convention.
In addition to the Center for Contemporary Conflict, Dr. Clunan works with the Center for Stabilization and Reconstruction Studies on the problems militaries and humanitarian organizations face in managing humanitarian disasters and with the Center for Civil-Military Relations on defense decision-making.
Prior to her academic career, Clunan launched the Civic Education Project, Inc., an international non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting civil society in transitioning countries. In 1999 she received the Velvet Revolution Award from the Czech and Slovak governments for her work promoting democracy and friendship between the peoples of the Czech and Slovak Republics and the United States of America. She has worked and traveled extensively in Central Eastern and Western Europe and the former Soviet Union. She received her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service.
