Stephen W. Jackson, ’91-92, MPA ‘94, an Irish national, joined the Social Science Research Council in March 2003 as Associate Director of the Conflict Prevention and Peace Forum, with particular responsibility for programming related to African conflicts.

Before coming to SSRC, Stephen spent equal periods of his career working in academic centers focused on international humanitarian action and as a relief worker in some of the more violent complex political emergencies of the 1990s. Between 1998 and 2002, he was the founding Director of the International Famine Centre at the National University of Ireland, Cork, a centre established to focus disparate efforts within the University in a cross-disciplinary approach to the political dimensions of global hunger. The Centre undertook applied research, advocacy campaigning, training and consultancy, particularly concerning the dilemmas of humanitarian assistance in conflict zones. Stephen has written widely on this area and undertaken consultancies for a variety of multilateral and non-governmental actors, including the Irish Government (APSO), UNOCHA, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), Care International, Save the Children, the Overseas Development Institute and Trócaire.

He began his career working as a political lobbyist in London between 1988 and 1991. As a relief worker, he worked for Catholic Relief Services in Somalia in 1992, during the extensive famine brought on by the Civil War. Subsequently, he was engaged in active relief work in Rwanda in 1993 and 1994, before moving, as Country Representative for Trócaire, to Angola where he lived between 1995 and 1996, fostering civil society development and grassroots political mobilization strategies.

Between 1997 and 2002, Stephen conducted anthropological fieldwork in the war-torn eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, leading to a Ph.D. dissertation in Cultural Anthropology from Princeton University entitled "War Making: Uncertainty, Improvisation and Involution in the Kivu Provinces, DR Congo, 1997-2002." The research concerned local peoples interpretations of war, their survival strategies, and the linkage between local, national and regional levels of conflict. He also holds an MPA from the Woodrow Wilson School, and a B.A. (Mod.) in Mathematical Sciences from Trinity College, Dublin. Stephen concentrated in Development Studies at WWS and did his summer internship with the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. He then took a middle year out to work with Catholic Relief Services in Nairobi, Kenya.

Amaney Jamal joined the Politics Department at Princeton as an assistant professor in 2003; a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Michigan, she is currently conducting research on the acculturation and adaptation process on the Arab-American second generation in Detroit. The study dovetails nicely with CMD's thematic research priority on the immigrant second generation. So far, no detailed study of the situation of young Arab-Americans has been conducted. The topic is especially important in the aftermath of the tragedy of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent launching of the anti-terrorist campaign by the U.S. government. Jamal's research promises to fill that gap. She is working on a book manuscript titled Democratic Citizens in non-Democratic Nations: Civic and Associational Life in the Middle East.

Graeme Robertson is a doctoral candidate in Political Science at Columbia University. He received his B.A. in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University, and his M.A. in Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies from Harvard University. He is the author of "Leading Labor: Unions, Politics and Protest in New Democracies" (Comparative Politics, forthcoming) and, with Alfred Stepan, of "An "Arab" More than "Muslim" Electoral Gap" (Journal of Democracy, July 2003).

His dissertation investigates the implications for democratic development of emerging institutions of interest articulation and representation in new democracies. Focusing on Russia, he presents a new theoretical perspective on patterns of worker protest and passivity during Russia’s economic crisis of the last decade. His work integrates the quantitative analysis of a comprehensive new database of protest events with detailed qualitative case research to link institutional features of the political economy to the capacity of regional elites to manipulate levels of strike activity, as part of a bargaining process with Federal authorities. Combining these elements, he shows how elite actors are able to manipulate popular protest in an environment, typical of new democracies, in which institutional constraints on the regional executives are weak. His research suggests that in such circumstances, the prospects for the emergence of representative liberal democracy are dim.

This research is part of a broader agenda that looks at the development of interest representation after the establishment of formal electoral institutions in the post-Communist states and elsewhere. In particular, he is interested in how institutions and practices inherited from previous regimes evolve and affect the development of new political and economic systems.

When not interviewing labor leaders in Siberia and the Far East, he supports other lost causes, such as the Scottish soccer team and the Boston Red Sox, and is an enthusiastic distance runner.
