Paul Musgrave
Associate Professor
Paul Musgrave researches the intersection of foreign policy and international relations theory. He is the author of numerous articles in leading journals such as International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, Comparative Political Studies, Foreign Policy Analysis, and International Theory.
