David S.
Siroky, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of
Political Science in the School of
Politics and Global Studies at Arizona State University, where he is a core
faculty member of the Center for
Social Dynamics and Complexity and a faculty affiliate of the
Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict, the Center for
Jewish Studies, the Melikian Center for
Russian, Eurasian and East European Studies and the Center on the Future of War.
His research focuses on
conflict, cooperation and collective action. Most of this work has focused on three areas:
the first is about the sources of nationalism, particularly its separatist and irredentist strains;
the second concerns the causes, consequences and dynamics of insurgency, collective violence and counterinsurgency.
As a result of investigating these topics in the European periphery, where several new states have emerged through secession,
a third area has crystalized around the politics of small states and alliances. Finally, he is in engaged in research on methodology, especially experimental and
ethnographic approaches, text mining and machine learning for the social sciences.
These efforts have appeared in more than thirty peer-reviewed articles, printed in some of the leading general and specialized journals, and in a forthcoming book with Cambridge University Press. He has received grants as PI and co-PI from the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of State, along with research fellowships from the Fulbright Foundation, Zentrum fuer Interkulturelle Studien in Germany and Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in France. His work has been recognized with several awards, including most recently the Deil S. Wright Best Paper Award from the American Political Science's section on Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations.
He received his Ph.D. in political science and M.A. in economics from Duke University, along with degrees from the University of Chicago, the University of London and Boston University, and was the Henry Hart Rice Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University. |
