Professor Brown specializes in comparative politics (with a special interest in constitutionalism and democratization) and Middle Eastern politics. He is the author of Peasant Politics in Modern Egypt (1990), The Rule of Law in the Arab World (1997), Constitutions in a Nonconstitutional World: Arab Basic Laws and the Prospects for Accountable Government (2001), and Palestinian Politics Since the Oslo Accords (2003), as well as articles on law, democracy, and society in the Arab world. In 1999 and 2000, while at Israel's Ben-Gurion University supported by a Fulbright grant through the United States-Israel Educational Foundation (USIEF) and another grant from the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), he conducted research on the establishment of a new Palestinian curriculum by collecting documents, textbooks, and interviewing Palestinian educators. Since that time, he has continued the research by continuing to survey textbooks and discussions of educational issues by Palestinian educators.
He heads the Master's program in Middle East politics.
