Keith Darden

Keith Darden is an Associate Professor who specializes in international relations, comparative politics, and the politics of Eurasia. His first book, Economic Liberalism and Its Rivals: The Formation of International Institutions among the Post-Soviet States, was published in 2009 by Cambridge University Press. His current research focuses on the sources of national loyalties and their effects on patterns of insurgent violence, secession, and voting. His second book, Resisting Occupation: Mass Literacy and the Creation of Durable National Loyalties, to be published by Cambridge University Press in 2011, explores how the national identities initially introduced to a community through schools account for subsequent patterns of voting, secession, and armed resistance to foreign occupation. He serves as co-editor of the Cambridge University Press Series on Problems in International Politics and has been a Fellow at the Wissenschaftszentrum in Berlin, the Davis Center for Russian Studies, and the Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies. In 2007 he was awarded the Lex Hixon ’63 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences, an annual endowed award given to a single faculty member across all fields of the social sciences.
