Dianne R. Pfundstein
I am a PhD candidate specializing in International Relations in Columbia University’s Department of Political Science. I entered the program in the fall of 2006, after earning a BA in Economics (Honors) and Political Science from Williams College in spring 2006. I am on the academic job market in the fall of 2011 and expect to graduate in May 2012. I specialize in security studies, American foreign policy, and international coercion.
My dissertation, “Credibility is Not Enough: Resolve and the Effectiveness of the Unipole’s Compellent Threats,” evaluates the United States’ use of compellent threats in the post-Cold War period. My advisors are Robert Jervis and Richard Betts. Click on the dissertation page for a more complete description of my project.
