 | Stathis Kalyvas |
Stathis N. Kalyvas, who has joined the Yale faculty as the Arnold Wolfers Professor of Political Science, focuses his research on the dynamics and polarization of civil war, ethnic and non-ethnic violence, and the formation of collective identities centered on religion, class and ethnicity.
Kalyvas is also director of the Yale Program on Order, Conflict and Violence.
He comes to Yale from the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 2000. He previously served on the faculties of New York University and Ohio State University.
Kalyvas has also researched party politics and political institutions in Europe, focusing on such subjects as the phenomenon of Christian democratic parties, Greek communism and other communist systems and conflicts in multiethnic societies, among others. He is the author of "The Rise of Christian Democracy in Europe," which was awarded the David Greenstone Prize by the American Political Science Association for the best book published in 1996-1997. Another book, "The Logic of Violence in the Civil War," is forthcoming. Kalyvas has also written numerous articles covering topics ranging from terrorism and suicide missions to specific civil wars, including those in Bosnia, Greece and Colombia.
A native of Greece, Kalyvas earned his B.A. from the University of Athens and both his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago. He won the Council of Graduate Schools Award for the best dissertation across all social science fields submitted in the United States between 1992 and 1994, as well as the University of Chicago's Marc Galler Prize for the best dissertation submitted in the Division of the Social Sciences.
The political scientist's other honors have included research grants from the World Bank and the Guggenheim and Mellon foundations. He has been named a fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (scheduled for 2007) and is an elected member of the Society for Comparative Research.
Kalyvas serves as editor of the University Press of Crete's Social Science Series and is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Theoretical Politics and the Journal of Modern Greek Studies. He has been an invited lecturer at numerous international conferences and has been a visiting fellow at the Center Raymond Aron at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
