User:Stephen Long
I am Stephen Long, a political scientist specializing in international relations (international conflict and international security). My Ph.D. is from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am currently Assistant Professor of Political Science at Kansas State University, a large public research university in Manhattan, Kansas. I teach courses on international relations, international conflict, and security studies. I also occasionally teach a course on Latin American Politics.
My research generally falls into the subfields that the American Political Science Association calls Conflict Processes and International Security. I have focused thus far on two general themes: the influence of states' historical relationships (rivalry, long-term cooperation, etc.) on their interactions, and the political causes and effects of states' military effectiveness (performance in war). View my professional web page for more information on my research, background, and professional activities.
