Kurt Taylor Gaubatz is an associate professor with the Department of Political Science and Geography and the Graduate Program in International Studies at Old Dominion University. He is also a faculty associate of the Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center. Before coming to ODU in 2000 he was the Visiting John G. Winant Lecturer in American Foreign Policy at Oxford University (Nuffield College) and was on the political science and international relations faculty at Stanford University. In 1996-97 he was the Susan Louise Dyer Peace Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford.
Professor Gaubatz's primary scholarship focuses on the relationship between democratic politics and international relations. More specifically, he works in three broad and interconnected areas: the relationship between regime type and international relations, the strategic behavior of politicians who must balance domestic and international incentives, and the relationship between democratic politics and international law.
Professor Gaubatz did his undergraduate work in economics at U.C.Berkeley. He holds masters degrees in international law from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and in theology from Princeton Theological Seminary. He earned his PhD in political science from Stanford University. He is the author of Elections and War (Stanford Univ. Press, 1999, paperback 2002), as well as a number of articles on international law and on the relationship between domestic politics and international relations. He has recently completed two large funded projects for the Department of Defense on modeling in the social sciences and on Bayesian statistics in social network analysis.
