Subjects

I will talk with reporters about my academic areas of interest -- namely, Comparative politics and political economy of development; Southeast Asia; Post-conflict reconstruction (particularly Cambodia); Aid effectiveness and governance. A segment I did in April 2006 for Australia Television is available here and a very brief cameo for a KION-46 piece for Theology on Tap is here. I am quoted and have written for a number of news outlets, including Asia Times Online, the Cambodia Daily, the Daily Journal, the International Herald Tribune, the New York Times, the Pacific News Service, the Phnom Penh Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the Washington Times.

Procedure

The best way to get an appointment is by email. 

Please email me a list of the subjects you are interested in before the interview, preferably in the form of specific questions.  You aren't limited to those questions, but I like to have an idea of what you are interested in. 

As a condition for any interview, I require a reasonable opportunity to check your post-edit piece for factual errors before publication.  You can satisfy this requirement either by giving me the piece or by reading to me all quotes and relevant descriptions or paraphrases.

Material contained herein is made available for the purpose of peer review and discussion and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of the Navy or the Department of Defense.
