Michael Doyle, director of Princeton's Center of International Studies, has been named special adviser to United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Doyle will concentrate on policy analysis and strategic planning, and will hold the rank of assistant secretary-general. He will begin his new duties April 2, while on leave from Princeton to work in public service.
Doyle joined the faculty of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1988 after teaching at Harvard, Johns Hopkins and the University of Warwick. He is the author of the several books, including "Empires," "U.N. Peacekeeping in Cambodia," "Ways of War and Peace" and "Peacemaking and Peacekeeping for the New Century."
A professor of politics and international affairs, Doyle is known for developing the "democratic peace" theory, which holds that democratic nations tend not to go to war against each other. He is a former vice president of the International Peace Academy in New York, and a member of advisory committees of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and the Lessons-Learned Unit of the U.N. Department of Peacekeeping Operations.
Phil Schaap, visiting lecturer in the American Studies Program, was one of the winners at the 43rd annual Grammy Award ceremonies Feb. 21 in Los Angeles. He was honored for his work as producer of "Louis Armstrong: The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings" (Columbia/Legacy Recordings), which was named best historical album of the year.
Schaap, who has taught in the American Studies Program annually since 1994, gave a course last semester that concentrated on Armstrong's life and art. A well-known jazz expert, radio commentator and teacher, Schaap also appeared prominently in Ken Burns' recent PBS documentary, "Jazz." He will return to Princeton next fall as a visiting lecturer.
