Notes:
Daniel Posner studies ethnic politics and the political economy of development in Africa. His first book, Institutions and Ethnic Politics in Africa (Cambridge), explains why and when politics revolves around one dimension of ethnic cleavage rather than another. Dr. Posner teaches courses on comparative politics, African politics, the political economy of development, and research design. He is a founding member of the inter-university Laboratory in Comparative Ethnic Processes (LiCEP) and the founder and co-convener of the Working Group in African Political Economy (WGAPE). His articles have appeared in the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, Comparative Politics, Comparative Political Studies, the British Journal of Political Science, and the Journal of Democracy. He has been a National Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford and a Carnegie Scholar of the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
