OVERVIEW

The Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies is an interdisciplinary program

devoted to research and teaching on the problems of war and peace, arms control and disarma-

ment, and more generally, instances of collective violence. Founded in 1970 as the Peace Studies

Program with the support of the University’s Center for International Studies and the Program on

Science, Technology and Society, the Institute was renamed in July 2010 to honor Judith Reppy

for her dedication to the Institute over the decades. The Institute maintains an abiding interest in

issues in science and security, from its long-standing attention to nuclear non-proliferation to its

current focus on the threat posed by chemical and biological weapons and on issues related to

outer-space surveillance. Institute members are also concerned with other security issues, among

them ethnic conflict, human rights, regional security, terrorism, economics of national security,

and international humanitarian law (laws of war).

The Reppy Institute is distinguished by its thoroughly interdisciplinary character and its

emphasis on long-term policy issues. Both are essential for the Institute’s objective of investi-

gating the intellectual foundations of security and the preservation of peace. This commitment

motivates the research and training activities of faculty and post-doctoral fellows, as well as

graduate and undergraduate students associated with the Institute.

Judith Reppy and Catherine Kelleher’s John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation

project for research on “Creating Conditions for a Stable Transition to a New Nuclear Order”

continued during the year. The primary goal of the project is to contribute new thinking and

writing on the problems of managing a stable transition, as countries reduce their nuclear

armaments to low numbers. Workshops took place November 11–13, 2015 at Cornell on

“Stability at Low Nuclear Numbers: Alternative Framings” (see Appendix D), February 22–24,

2016 in Monterey, California on “A Stable Transition to a New Nuclear Order” focusing on East

Asia (see Appendix E), and May 2–3, 2016 in Washington, DC on “Nuclear Stability at Low

Numbers: The South Asian Challenge” (see Appendix G). Attendees included people from

government agencies, as well as members of the academic community interested in nuclear

weapons issue.

For the second year the Einaudi Center for International Studies provided funding to the

Institute for internationalization projects, including events in Stockholm, Sweden and Turin,

Italy. Sarah Krepps and Gustavo Flores-Macias organized the May 23–25 trip along with

colleagues in Stockholm. Six Cornell graduate students presented papers and met with Ph.D.

students and faculty interested in global security. Several universities participated. Matthew

Evangelista organized the conference that took place in Turin, Italy June 10, 2016 on “A quar-

ant’anni da la crisi italiana politica, economia e società dagli anni 70 ad oggi” (see Appendix H).

Other Reppy Institute activities in 2015–2016 focused on the Institute’s central missions

of supporting student and faculty teaching and research, cross-campus interactions, and off-

campus outreach. Activities included workshops, weekly seminars (see Appendix A for a list of

speakers and their titles), scheduled meetings of speakers with graduate students affiliated with

the Institute (see Appendix B), and co-sponsorship of a number of speakers, symposia, and other

special events with other campus groups (see Appendix C).

RESEARCH

The Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and

Conflict Studies seeks to encourage faculty

and graduate student research and writing on

problems of international peace and security,

broadly defined. The Institute continued to

promote and facilitate graduate student pro-

fessional development by hosting a series of

small group meetings, a practice initiated by

Jonathan Kirshner in spring 2009. This ini-

tiative began with funding from the Insti-

tute’s grant from the MacArthur Foundation,

but is now supported by Cornell’s Walter S.

Carpenter Chair. These meetings provide the

opportunity for graduate students to discuss

their research projects with outside speakers.

Michael Allen, a government graduate stu-

dent, hosted these small group meetings in

2015–2016 (see the list of graduate student

development activities in Appendix B).

In 2015–2016 peace and conflict studies-

related research activities included the indi-

vidual research interests of these faculty:

Mabel Berezin’s (Sociology) research

focuses on extremist politics in contemporary

Europe. She was a Visiting Scholar at the

Center for European Studies, Harvard

University in Spring 2016.

Allen Carlson’s (Government) research

interests include international relations, Chi-

nese foreign policy, and Asian security. He is

currently developing a research project that

examines the emerging role of transnational

public intellectuals in shaping debates within

China about the country’s rise and its impli-

cations for the international system.

Holly Case’s (History) work focuses on the

relationship between foreign policy, social

policy, science, and literature as manifest in

the European state system of the nineteenth

and twentieth centuries. She is currently at

work on a history of the emergence of “ques-

tions”—the Eastern question, Jewish ques-

tion, Polish question, woman question,

worker question, etc.—in the nineteenth cen-

tury, as well as a history of the role played by

consuls and consular reform in transforming

the international system over the course of

the nineteenth and into the twentieth century.

She will be leaving Cornell to join the

History Department at Brown University in

July 2016.

Matthew Evangelista’s (Government)

research is mainly related to issues of peace

and conflict, with recent projects on interna-

tional norms and laws governing warfare,

and the Allied bombing campaign against

Italy during World War II.

Isabel Hull (History) studies Germany from

1700–1945 (especially sociopolitical, mili-

tary, legal, administrative, and political the-

ory), international laws of war, the First

World War, fascism, and genocide. She

received a Certificate of Merit from the

American Society of International Law for “a

preeminent contribution to creative scholar–

ship” for her book, A Scrap of Paper: Break–

ing and Making International Law During

the Great War (Cornell, 2014), at the ASIL’s

annual conference in Washington, DC in

March 2016.

Karim-Aly Kassam’s (Natural Resources)

research focuses on the connectivity of

human and environmental relations, address-

ing indigenous ways of knowing, food sover-

eignty, sustainable livelihoods, and climate

change, and the creation of an International

University in Mountain Science.

Peter Katzenstein’s (Government) research

includes projects on the financial crisis, civ-

ilization politics, soft power (law, popular

culture, public diplomacy, and religion), and

America’s changing role in the world. He is

starting a research project with Lucia Seybert

on Circulatory Power in World Politics. He

has been appointed WZB Fellow at the

Berlin Social Science Center through 2017.

Jonathan Kirshner’s (Government) re-

search interests focus on political economy

and national security, and the politics of

international money and finance. He works

on research that considers American power

and world politics after the financial crisis.

Sarah Kreps’ (Government) research inter-

ests include international relations, security,

political economy, law, and nuclear prolifer-

ation issues. She is working on a project on

war finance, as well as a project on drone

warfare.

George Lewis’ (Reppy Institute) research

has focused on several issues involving bal-

listic missile defenses. His research focuses

on the technology, capabilities, and implica–

tions of ballistic missile defense systems,

with an emphasis on space-and ground-based

sensor systems, and on outer space surveil–

lance technology and capabilities. During

2015–2016 he made many posts covering

ballistic missile defense and outer space

security issues from a technical perspective

on his blog, http://mostlymissiledefense.com.

Judith Reppy’s (Science and Technology

Studies) major research interest is a joint

project with Catherine McArdle Kelleher on

“Creating Conditions for a Stable Transition

to a New Nuclear Order.” This is a two-year

project, funded by a grant to the Reppy Insti-

tute from the MacArthur Foundation, which

involves a series of workshops to discuss in

detail the practical issues that need to be

resolved to make a transition to much lower

numbers of nuclear weapons feasible. Three

workshops were held in 2015–16 at Cornell,

and in Monterey, California and Washington,

DC (see Appendices D, E, and G). She also

continues to be interested in the conditions

required for transition to low nuclear num–

bers, secrecy in government, and whistle–

blower protection.

Rebecca Slayton’s (Science and Technology

Studies) research examines the relationships

between and among technological expertise,

governance, and risk, with a focus on inter–

national security and cooperation since

World War II. She is currently working on

three major projects. The first is a book on

the history of cybersecurity expertise. The

second is a Department of Homeland

Security funded project on regulation and

resilience in the electric power sector, with a

focus on resilience to cyberattacks. The third

is an NSF CAREER award examining how

different kinds of experts are currently

managing different kinds of risk associated

with information technology in the electrical

power grid.

Barry Strauss’s (History) research interests

include military and diplomatic history, mar-

itime history, history of strategy, military

sociology, and regional conflict (Mediter-

ranean and East Asia). He is working now on

a book on the how Roman emperors from

Augustine to Constantine to coped with crisis

and decline, The Twelve Caesars: Lions and

Foxes for Simon & Schuster. On 20 June

2015 he was awarded the Lucio Colletti Prize

for Political Culture in Italy and Europe in

Rome, Italy.

A number of graduate students are writing or

have completed theses that are related to the

research interests of the program, including:

Michael Allen’s (Government) research

focuses on how international law and

organizations can facilitate cooperation

between states. Specifically, he studies the

social conditions under which reputation

plays a role in achieving international

cooperation. He is also interested in the

history of “international” custom and law in

China and the Americas. He will be the

Coordinator for the International Relations

Minor for 2016–17.

Michael (Fritz) Bartel’s (History) research

lies at the intersection of the history of capi-

talism and the history of the Cold War. His

dissertation is on “The Privatization of the

Cold War: Global Finance and the End of

Communism” will examine the pivotal role

of Western commercial banks and com–

munist sovereign debt in the late Cold War.

Amanda Bosworth (History) is developing a

project on U.S.-Russia state and cultural

relations from the exchange of Alaska

between the two nations (1867) into the

Soviet period. She is interested in state and

non-state interactions at sea and along the

Pacific coasts of these two nations, as well as

how Russian culture has endured and/or how

Russians have been displaced in Alaska. The

tiny Bering Strait in the North Pacific Ocean

has been and is a particular site for tension

and cooperation between these two nations.

Her interests include the history of whaling,

tourism, and the ways in which nations tell

stories about their histories at cultural sites,

exhibitions, and museums. She took a

research trip to Juneau and Sitka, Alaska, in

August 2016.

Robert Braun’s (Government) research

combines archival work with geographical

information systems to study civil society

and intergroup relationships in times of

social upheaval. His dissertation project is on

“Religious Minorities and Resistance to

Genocide: the Collective Rescue of Jews in

the Low Countries.” In 2015–16 he was a

Pre-doctoral Fellow in the Department of

Sociology at Northwestern University.

Katrina Browne’s (Government) thesis title

is “Territorial Conflict and Territoriality,

Foreign Policy of Authoritarian Regimes,

and International Bargaining.” Her work

focuses on territorial disputes, a form of con-

flict from which violence is especially like to

emerge. She examines several aspects of ter-

ritoriality by focusing on how different

regimes behave during territorial conflicts, as

well as what institutions states have devel-

oped to divide land peacefully between

themselves.

Brian Cuddy (History) was awarded a

Mellon/ ACLS Dissertation Completion

Fellowship from the American Council of

Learned Societies for 2015

(https://www.acls.org/news/04-14-2015/),

presented to advanced graduate students in

their final year of dissertation writing.

Sean Fear’s (History) research focuses on

American Foreign Relations, Global Cold

War, Global/Transnational History, Contem–

porary Vietnamese History, and International

Relations, with minor concentrations in

Southeast Asian History and Modern China.

He held an Agnese N. Haury Dissertation

Fellowship for Spring 2016 at the New York

University Center for the United States and

Cold War. His thesis title is “Republican

Saigon’s Clash of Constituents: Domestic

Politics and Civil Society in U.S.-South

Vietnamese Relations, 1967–1971.” During

the 2016–17 Academic Year he will be a

U.S. Foreign Policy and International

Security Postdoctoral Fellow at the

Dartmouth College John Sloan Dickey

Center for International Understanding.

Mattias Fibiger’s (History) research

interests include U.S. foreign relations,

international history, and the Vietnam War.

His thesis title is “The United States and the

ASEAN World, 1969–1976,” and examines

American efforts to forge a post-Vietnam

War international order in Southeast Asia

during the period 1969–1976. During 2015–

2016 he conducted dissertation research

funded by the Reppy Institute and the Social

Science Research Council, travelling to

archives in the United States, Indonesia,

Malaysia, and the Philippines; and was a

visiting researcher at Universitas Indonesia

and Universiti Malaya. In 2016–2017 he will

continue conducting research both in the

United States and in Southeast Asia. Begin–

ning in January 2017 he will be writing his

dissertation from Chicago.

Darragh Hare (Natural Resources) is inter-

ested broadly in environmental governance

and ownership of natural resources. He

would like to know whether public trust

thinking can provide a framework for re-

ducing resource conflict and increasing envi-

ronmental security. He is also interested in

the evolution of ownership and how owner-

ship arrangements serve to reduce conflict in

human and non-human societies.

Isaac Kardon (Government) studies China’s

practice of international law, with a focus on

the maritime domain. China’s several island

sovereignty and maritime jurisdictional dis-

putes with neighboring countries and extra-

regional users of East Asian sea lanes have

already upset the peace, and are a source of

growing regional and global tension. His dis-

sertation research concerns a key driver of

these real and potential conflicts, China’s

“maritime rights and interests” in the Exclu-

sive Economic Zone (EEZ), and is titled

“Ruling the Waves and Waving the Rules:

Law and Strategy in China's Maritime Dis-

putes.”

Sarah Maxey’s (Government) research

focuses on the domestic determinants of

foreign policy and investigates the relation–

ship between leaders, their publics, and

military interventions. It considers the ques–

tions: How do leaders build and sustain

support for military action? Under what

conditions is the public able to hold leaders

accountable for the use of force? To address

these questions, I examine U.S. presidents'

public justifications for war and their impli–

cations for both U.S. foreign policy and the

development of humanitarian intervention

norms. Her thesis title is “The Humanitarian

Discourse of Force: How U.S. Presidents

Justify Interventions.”

Ilil Naveh-Benjamin’s (Science and Tech-

nology Studies) thesis title is “Half-Hearted

Auditors: Bureaucratic Order and Disorder in

Humanitarian Aid.”

Edmund Oh’s (Development Sociology)

completed his Ph.D. in January 2016 with

the thesis “Resource Governance as

Depoliticized Development: The Rise of

Fisheries Co-management in Vietnam.”

Máté Rigó’s (History) thesis title is

“Imperial Elites after the Fall of Empires:

Page 8: ANNUAL REPORT - Cornell University rept.pdf · For the second year the Einaudi Center for International Studies provided funding to the Institute for internationalization projects,

7

Business Elites and States in Europe’s East

and West 1867–1918.”

Stephen Roblin (Government) examines

American public attitudes towards the

foreign victims of U.S. wars, particularly

focusing on the effect of international law on

public attitudes. His second and primary area

of research is U.S.-Latin America relations.

More specifically, he is interested in why

Latin American states, and weak states more

broadly, seek to challenge the U.S. and other

great powers’ spheres of influence, and under

what conditions these anti-hegemonic efforts

fail and succeed. He helped organize the

inaugural Reppy Institute graduate student

conference, in which students from univer–

sities around the country presented and

received critical feedback on their research.

Timothy Sorg’s (History) is interested in the

transition of ancient Mediterranean states

from regional city-state to territorial empire,

with a special focus on land allotment. His

dissertation is tentatively titled “Imperial

Neighbors: Empires and Land Allotment in

the Ancient Mediterranean World.”

Whitney Taylor (Government) studies

human rights, international law (human

rights and humanitarian, and genocite/mass

atrocities. Her thesis title is “Creating a

Sense of Obligation: Legal Mobilization for

Socioeconomic Rights.” She was the Coor–

dinator for the International Relations Minor

for 2015–16. She plans to conduct field

research in Colombia in 2016–17.

Silvana Toska (Government) studies inter-

national relations and comparative politics,

with a focus on Africa and the Middle East.

Her thesis title is “Revolutionaries Without

Borders: Causes and Consequences of

Revolutionary Waves.” While her disser-

tation provides a theory for the spread of

revolutions broadly, she focuses more closely

on the “Arab Spring,” and has spent several

years researching in the Middle East.

Kelsey Utne’s (History) research focuses on

the memorialization of religious and political

violence in colonial and postcolonial India,

Pakistan, and Afghanistan. She is particularly

interested in the framing of communal vio–

lence and narratives of victimhood in the

interpretive materials (both official and

unofficial) published for sale and the promo–

tion of museums, monuments, and historic

sites. For 2016–17 she was awarded a FLAS

Fellowship at Cornell to study advanced

Hindi.

CONFERENCES

The Mario Einaudi Center for International

Studies provides supplemental funding each

year to support the Institute’s workshops and

conferences.

VISITORS

Our visitors in 2015–2016:

Aaron Donaghy, EU Marie Curie Global

Fellow at Harvard University, studies the

nexus between domestic politics and foreign

policy in the United States and Great Britain,

and how it shapes decision-making at the

executive level. Focusing on the Carter,

Reagan, and Thatcher administrations, he

examines how “intermestic” politics helped

drive the rise and fall of the “Second Cold

War,” from personal ambition and electoral

strategizing, to partisan wrangling and

Department of Politics, Ithaca College, has

been a long-term visiting scholar in the

Reppy Institute. He is working on a book

project on the role of U.S. NGOs in pro–

moting democracy in the Balkans, including

parallels with traditional Christian mis–

sionary work. His other project further

develops the theoretical framework of his

book The Myth of Ethnic War, focusing on

conflictual policies as a strategy of political

demobilization.

Thomas Jonter is Director of Stockholm

interest to peace and conflict studies par-

ticipants (see Appendix C).

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and

Conflict Studies is associated with Cornell’s

Mario Einaudi Center for International Stud-

ies, which provides administrative support.

As of 1 July 2008 the Vice Provost for Inter-

national Affairs assumed oversight for the

Mario Einaudi Center for International

Studies.

Funds for the basic operating expenses of the

Institute come from endowments provided by

the Ford Foundation and Cornell University.

The Institute has also received additional

funds for individual research projects from

several other sources. Support has come from

the Carnegie Foundation, the Ford Founda-

Page 23: ANNUAL REPORT - Cornell University rept.pdf · For the second year the Einaudi Center for International Studies provided funding to the Institute for internationalization projects,

22

tion, the MacArthur Foundation, the Amer-

ican Academy of Arts and Sciences, the

Hewlett Foundation, the United States Insti-

tute of Peace, Resources for the Future, and

the National Science Foundation. Additional

support for Institute activities has come from

the Einaudi Center, the College of Arts and

Sciences, and Cornell alumni and friends.

Since 1985 the John D. and Catherine T.

MacArthur Foundation has provided a series

of institutional grants to the Peace Studies

Program (now the Reppy Institute) to support

graduate work and interdisciplinary research

activities in the field of international security

and peace studies. Funding from the

MacArthur Foundation supported training

and research activities on the themes “Tech-

nology and Security” and “Regional Secu-

rity” through June 2002. In January 2003 the

Peace Studies Program was awarded a $1.1

million grant from the MacArthur Foun-

dation in support of research and training to

strengthen scientific and technical advice on

international peace and security. A $1.86

million renewal grant began 1 July 2006 and

with a two year extension ran through the

end of June 2013.

Faculty members have received numerous

grants for their individual research activities.

These activities have been detailed in other

sections of this annual report.

The establishment of the Marion and Frank

Long Endowment Fund in 1993 was a step

toward building support for graduate educa-

tion on a permanent basis. Income from the

fund is used to provide graduate fellowships

for students in peace studies, with the first

award being made in 1995–1996. The Instit-

ute has been able to expand its support to

graduate students with the addition of a con-

tinuing fellowship for peace studies students

provided by the Cornell Graduate School.

This fellowship was made possible in part

from the Dora and Jesse Bluestone endow-

ment in the Graduate School, which was

moved to the Institute in spring 2013.

A bequest from Harrop and Ruth Freeman

established an endowment in 1995 to con-

tinue to support the Harrop and Ruth Free-

man Prize in Peace Studies. Since 2006 the

endowment has also provided several fel-

lowships to undergraduate students to sup-

port their summer internships with NGOs.

Further information on these awards is given

earlier in this report.

Numerous gifts received from current col-

leagues, alumni, and friends of the Institute

are used to support graduate student fellow-

ships, research, and development and pro-

gram activities.

The Reppy Institute is governed by an exec-

utive committee of interested faculty mem-

bers, who are listed below. In 2015–2016

Matthew Evangelista was the Reppy Institute

Director, Sarah Kreps the Associate Director,

Elaine Scott the Administrative Manager,
