Daniel Brumberg was a senior associate in the Carnegie Endowment’s Democracy and Rule of Law Project and also an associate professor at Georgetown University. He previously was a Randolph Peace Fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace, where he pursued a study of power sharing in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. In 1997 Brumberg was a Mellon Junior Fellow at Georgetown University and a visiting fellow at the International Forum on Democratic Studies. Earlier, he was a visiting professor in the Department of Political Science at Emory University and a visiting fellow in the Middle East Program in the Jimmy Carter Center.
