Curriculum Vitae

Before earning a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley (2002), Elliot Posner received degrees from the School of Advanced International Studies at the Johns Hopkins University (M.A.) and Brown University (B.A.). He served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Botswana, where he taught English and math to eighth and ninth graders.

Prof. Posner's book, The Origins of Europe's New Stock Markets (Harvard University Press, 2009), explores the causes of Europe's emergence as a global financial power, addressing classic and new questions about the origins of markets and their relationship to politics and bureaucracy. His work has appeared (or is forthcoming) in International Organization, the Review of International Political Economy, World Politics and edited volumes. He is currently writing a series of papers about the rules governing cross-border financial activity and European reactions to the financial crisis.

As the department's internship coordinator, he oversees the Wellman Hill Political Science Internship Grants Program.
