Education Ph.D. Candidate, Political Science, University of Connecticut Primary fields: International Relations, American Politics. Field exams taken Fall 2005. Dissertation Title: “When Reciprocity Break Down: Cooperation and Protracted Conflict in International Affairs” Ph.D. projected completion, March 2008: Reciprocity has received much attention in recent years as a method for promoting cooperation in a wide array of socio-political settings. But reciprocity is not a always an interaction process that generates positive outcomes: sometimes it breaks down, and in others, it can create a negative spiral of action-reaction endemic to many protracted conflicts. This dissertation examines the processes and interactions that cause reciprocity to spiral in both positive and negative ways. Using a synthesis of the critical junctures concept and prospect theory, as well as considerations of issue saliency and perceptual and material symmetry, the study systematically examines four cases.
