Background:
Henry E. Hale (Ph.D. Harvard 1998) is Associate Professor of Political Science and International Affairs. He specializes in issues of democratization, federalism, ethnic politics, and regional integration, frequently with a focus on the cases of the former Soviet region. His newest book, The Foundations of Ethnic Politics: Separatism of States and Nations in Eurasia and the World, has recently been published as part of Cambridge University Press' Studies in Comparative Politics series (2008). His first book, Why Not Parties in Russia? Democracy, Federalism and the State (Cambridge University Press, 2006), was selected a winner of the Leon D. Epstein Outstanding Book Award by the APSA Political Organizations and Parties (POP) section. His articles have been published in journals ranging from Comparative Politics to Europe-Asia Studies to Orbis, with his "Divided We Stand" (World Politics 2004) winning the APSA Qualitative Methods Section's 2005 Alexander L. George Award for best article in qualitative methods. The National Science Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research have funded his research.
Professor Hale spent the academic year 2007-08 in Russia on a Fulbright research fellowship. In 2008-09, he will be on sabbatical, which he will spend partly at the Moscow Center of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and partly at the Kennan Institute in Washington, DC, on a Title VIII Research Scholarship.
