Jonathan Kirshner is a professor of government and director of the Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies at Cornell University. He is also coeditor of the multidisciplinary book series, Cornell Studies in Money. His primary fields of interest are international relations and political economy. Much of his research has engaged two themes: economics and national security, and the politics of money. His book, Currency and Coercion: The Political Economy of International Monetary Power (1995) integrates these two interests with an exploration of how states can, and have, manipulated international monetary relations to advance security-related goals. Another book, Appeasing Bankers: Financial Caution on the Road to War (2007), considers how financial interests and international financial markets can shape and constrain states’ grand strategies and influence decisions about war and peace. While at Princeton, Kirshner will work on research related to American power and world politics after the financial crisis.
