If we honor our adversaries, The truth lies in the processes,
will we ever have enemies? not in the words.
will we ever have enemies? not in the words.
Welcome
My name is Tony Rivera. I am a Postdoctoral Subject Matter Expert at the University of Chicago's Computation Institute, where I am providing expertise on Iranian foreign policy and Middle Eastern regional politics for agent based modeling and dynamic social network analysis. I earned a PhD in Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware.
My dissertation is titled:
The Complexity of Iranian Foreign Policy:The Politics of Fear, Interest, and Honor. It studies the role of honor in the competition among the political elite in Iran and how this competition produces foreign policy preferences.
I have also had the privilege of serving as the managing editor of the International Studies Association and Wiley Blackwell's Compendium Project.
Here is a copy of my Curriculum Vitae.
None of the great things that have happened to me since I've been here would have happened without the support of my adviser and dissertation chair Dan Green!
