Biography
Anne L. Clunan is an assistant professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. She earned her Ph.D. in political science at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research and teaching interests focus on the how states define and respond to new security threats and the relationship between globalization, sovereignty, and governance.

Dr. Clunan works with the Center for Stabilization and Reconstruction Studies on the problems militaries and humanitarian organizations face in managing complex humanitarian emergencies. In addition, she works with the Center for Contemporary Conflict and the Center for Civil-Military Relations on emerging national security threats and defense restructuring. She is co-editor with Peter Lavoy and Susan B. Martin of Terrorism, War, or Disease? Unraveling the Use of Biological Weapons (Stanford University Press, 2008), in which she examines the challenges facing public health and other government agencies in preventing and mitigating humanitarian and health crises arising from bioterrorism and biowarfare. Other recent and forthcoming publications include Reconstructing Grandeur: Identity and the Sources of Russian Security Policy (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009), "The Fight Against Terrorist Financing" in Political Science Quarterly Winter 2006/2007, "Globalization and the Impact of Norms on Defense Restructuring," in Bruneau and Trinkunas, eds., Global Politics of Defense Reform (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008), and contributions to Caraley, ed., Crisis in National Security: Can Terrorist Attacks and Nuclear Proliferation Be Stopped (Academy of Political Science, 2007) and the Encyclopedia of Governance (SAGE Publications, 2006). She is co-editor with Harold Trinkunas of a forthcoming volume on Ungoverned Spaces? Alternatives to State Authority in an Era of Softened Sovereignty, which examines challenges and opportunities for national, human, and global security arising from the existence of alternative governance structures in areas ranging from the tribal regions of Pakistan and Africa to offshore financial markets. She frequently gives papers at the American Political Science Association Annual Meeting and the International Studies Association Annual Convention.

Prior to her academic career, Clunan launched the Civic Education Project, Inc., an international non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting civil society in transitioning countries. In 1999 she received the Velvet Revolution Award from the Czech and Slovak governments for her work promoting democracy and friendship between the peoples of the Czech and Slovak Republics and the United States of America. She has worked extensively in Central Eastern, Southeastern, and Western Europe and the former Soviet Union on civil society development. She received her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service.
