Maurits van der Veen

 

Professor van der Veen joined the Government Department in 2010 after receiving his BA from Dartmouth College, MS from Stanford, and his PhD from Harvard University. His research examines the various ways policy-makers think about, or “frame” foreign policy issues, and the impact that different frames, in turn, have on actual policy choices. He has applied this approach to the study of foreign aid policy in Western Europe and the United States, the politics of European integration and EU enlargement, and the terminology used to describe massive human rights violations: what happens if you refuse to call a genocide a genocide? Dr. van der Veen also develops agent-based computational models to analyze the impact of social networks.
