G. Marshall Research Professor of Public Policy mmarsha5@gmu.edu phone: 703-993-8177 fax: 703-993-8215 George Mason School of Public Policy 3401 Fairfax Drive– MS 3B1 Arlington, VA 22201 Education Biography Dr. Marshall established and directs the Center for Systemic Peace; he also directs the Armed Conflict and Intervention (ACI) and Polity IV data projects, which provide annual assessments of conflict and governance in all countries of the world. He is a senior consultant with the United States Government’s Political Instability Task Force (formerly known as the State Failure Task Force) and consults frequently with various government agencies, international organizations, and NGOs. Dr. Marshall’s systemic theory and evidence on contemporary societal development and conflict processes are reported in Third World War: System, Process, and Conflict Dynamics (Rowman & Littlefield 1999). Before coming to George Mason University he was a Co-Director of the Minorities at Risk Project and Program Director of the Integrated Network for Societal Conflict Research at the Center for International Development and Conflict Management at the University of Maryland; he was the co-creator, lead author, and editor of the biennial report series Peace and Conflict: A Global Survey of Armed Conflicts, Democracy, and Self-Determination Movements. The Peace and Conflict report series was made possible through a generous grant from the Carnegie Corporation. Recent research
includes work with the US Agency for International Development on
the dimensions and measurement of “state fragility,” with
the US Political Instability Task Force on overcoming the problem
of “factionalism” in the consolidation of new and emerging
democracies, and with UK Department for International Development
on “Conflict Trends in Africa” and developing an “indicator
module” for a Continental Early Warning System for the African
Union. Dr. Marshall and CGP Director Jack Goldstone have teamed to
create a new annual report on global system performance in the Globalization
Era: Global Trends in Conflict, Governance, and State Fragility, including
evaluations of “state fragility” for all countries in
the world. This report is published annually in Foreign
Policy Bulletin (Cambridge University Press), beginning in March 2007.
