Prof. Lieven has covered Central Europe for the Financial Times, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the former Soviet Union, and Russia for The Times (London), India as a freelance journalist, and has also written for the International Herald Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, The National Interest, The Christian Science Monitor, Prospect (U.K.), and The Nation, among other publications. From 1986 to 1998 he covered the anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan, the Chechen war of 1994-96 and other conflicts. From 1998-2000 he edited Strategic Comments at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, while working for the Eastern Services of the BBC. From 2000-2005 he was a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington DC.
Prof. Lieven is the author of numerous books on foreign policy, including The Baltic Revolution: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Path to Independence (Yale University Press, 1993), which won the George Orwell Prize for Political Writing and the Yale University Press Governors’ Award. In recent years Anatol Lieven has worked chiefly on aspects of the “war on terror”, including contemporary US global strategy and its background in US history and political culture. In 2004 he published America Right or Wrong: An Anatomy of American Nationalism (Oxford University Press and Harper Collins), a study of the history and nature of American nationalism and its impact on US foreign policy. His latest book (co-authored with John Hulsman), Ethical Realism: A Vision for America’s Role in the World, was published by Pantheon in 2006, which contains an analysis of America’s present strategic position, and recommendations for future strategy. He has traveled extensively for research in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other parts of the Muslim world, and is presently working on another manuscript related to tribal relations and radicalization in Pakistan. Prof. Lieven holds a B.A. in history and a doctorate in political science from Jesus College, Cambridge. |
