Dan Reiter is Winship Research Professor and director of graduate studies in political science at Emory University. His specialties are international conflict, foreign policy decision-making, national security policy and international alliances.

Reiter's current research interests include how democracies wage and win wars, international sources of democratization, democratic alliances and the use of event history analysis to study international conflict.

He was the recipient of this year's prestigious Karl Deutsch Award from the International Studies Association. The award is presented annually to a scholar under the age of 40 (or within 10 years of earning a doctoral degree) who is judged to have made, through a body of publications, the most significant contribution to the study of international relations and peace research.

Reiter is the co-author of "Democracies at War," published earlier this year by Princeton University Press. His first book, "Crucible of Beliefs: Learning, Alliances and World Wars," was published in 1996 by Cornell University Press.

Reiter earned a B.A. with honors in political science from Northwestern University and his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan in 1994. He was a John M. Olin post-doctoral fellow in national security at Harvard University before joining the Emory faculty in 1995.
