[edit] Education and career

Moravcsik received a BA in history from Stanford University in 1980 and spent the next two years as a Fulbright Fellow at the Universities of Bielefeld, Hamburg, and Marburg in West Germany. In 1982 he enrolled at the The Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, DC, and received a Master of Arts degree in international relations in 1984. In 1992 he obtained a Ph.D. in political science from Harvard University and began teaching in the Department of Government. During his 12-year tenure in the department, Moravcsik became a Full Professor and founded Harvard's European Union program. He left the school in 2004 to assume a post at Princeton University, where he again founded an EU program.[4]

Prior to the start of his academic career, Moravcsik served, at various times, as an international trade negotiator, a special assistant to the South Korean Deputy Prime Minister, and the editor of a foreign policy journal.[3]

He has lectured about the European Union at The Pentagon,[5] was a guest on NPR's Talk of the Nation,[6] and has been quoted in multiple news sources, including Deutsche Welle,[7][8] International Herald Tribune,[5][9][10] and USA Today.[11] He has also written over two dozen news articles for Newsweek, including two cover stories (in 2005[12] and 2007[13]), and many more for other news publications.[14]

Moravcsik has published one book, titled The Choice for Europe: Social Purpose and State Power from Messina to Maastricht, two edited volumes, and dozens of book chapters, scholarly articles, and book reviews. According to Google Scholar, The Choice for Europe has been cited at least 736 times as of May 2007. The book, which has been called "the most important work in the field" of modern European studies,[15] attempts to explain why the member states of the European Union agreed to cede sovereignty to a supranational entity.
