Education

Research Interests My research on international development, conflict/ terrorism, and applied systems analysis seeks to make complex technologies and public policy issues accessible to wide audiences. I have collaborated on several books: Groping in the Dark: The First Decade of Global Modeling, Breakthrough: New Global Thinking, Making it Happen: A Positive Guide to the Future, Ending Hunger: An Idea Whose Time Has Come, and Democratization in South Asia: The First Fifty Years. My most recent book, Paradise Poisoned: Learning About Conflict, Terrorism, and Development from Sri Lanka's Civil Wars (to be released in January 2005), engages the political economy of conflict and terrorism in Sri Lanka and beyond. I belong to numerous professional networks and organizations and I continue to serve as a Director of Sri Lanka's International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES).
