Brad Simpson (PhD Northwestern, 2003) studies and teaches twentieth century U.S. foreign relations and international history. His first book, Economists with Guns: Authoritarian Development and U.S. – Indonesian Relations, 1960-1968 (Stanford University Press, forthcoming), explores the intersection of anti-communism and modernization ideology in shaping U.S.-Indonesian relations during the 1960s.
He is also founder and director of an ongoing project to declassify U.S. documents concerning Indonesia and East Timor during the reign of General Suharto (1965-1998). This project will be used as a basis for a major study of U.S.-Indonesian relations from 1965-1999, which will explore how the U.S. and the international community's embrace of authoritarianism in Indonesia shaped development, human rights, civil military relations and political Islam. Recent essays and reviews are in Cold War History, Diplomatic History, Critical Asian Studies, Peace and Change, and East Asia and the United States: An Encyclopedia of Relations Since 1784 (Greenwood, 2003).
