​Peter Krause

I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at Boston College and a Research Affiliate with the MIT Security Studies Program. I have published books on navigating field research, coercion in international politics, and the strategy and success of nationalist rebels in civil war. I am writing two new books on 1) how to have a constructive conversation about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and 2) which rebel groups take power after regime change. My research and teaching focus on Middle East politics and Israeli-Palestinian relations, political violence, nationalism, rebels and civil war, and peace-building. I give talks and facilitate discussions with universities, think tanks, and business and community groups, and I conduct media interviews. I have a Ph.D. in political science from MIT and a B.A. in political science and history from Williams College.
