Biography

Derrick Frazier is a political scientist whose research interests focus on two areas: third party conflict management and regional security. The former involves explaining the mediation process in interstate disputes, with a special emphasis on how third parties such as states and international organizations are motivated to moderate and/or terminate militarized conflicts. The latter research area explores the dynamics of regional security. Specifically, Dr. Frazier is investigating the behavior of regional powers and their importance in understanding regional security orders. Professor Frazier teaches courses on war, conflict management, international security and American foreign policy.
