He was an advisor to the Iraq Study Group, Co-Chairman of the Reconstruction and Development Group of the [Princeton Project on National Security], and serves on the board of several organizations, including Global Relief Technologies (GRT). His work seeks to improve the way the United States and the international community approach conflict situations, including improved analysis and anticipation in Pakistan and Nigeria; action strategies for Iraq, Sudan, and Sri Lanka; and the development of a measures-of-progress model for Afghanistan and Iraq. He is a regular contributor to global public discussions. For the past five years, Barton was a visiting lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, where he was the Frederick H. Schultz Professor of Economic Policy and lecturer on public and international affairs. His work is informed by 12 years of experience in nearly 30 global hot spots, including serving as UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva (1999–2001) and as the first director of the Office of Transition Initiatives at the U.S. Agency for International Development (1994–1999). A graduate of Harvard College (1971), Barton earned his M.B.A. from Boston University (1982), with an emphasis on public management, and received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Wheaton College of Massachusetts (2001).
