The School of Politics and Global Studies benefited in 2013 from a generous gift from 1980 alumnus, Brian A. Kopf. Kopf earned his B.S. in Political Science from Arizona State University. He also attended DeVry Institute, becoming an expert on information technology. He retired from J.P. Morgan Chase Bank as vice-president in 1952.

Questions of political violence and rights have motivated scholars, thinkers, and policy-makers for generations. This working group represents several different perspectives of this important area of research. Our researchers come from several different methodological perspectives and conduct research on topics ranging from why states go to war, the dynamics of civil conflict, the scope of repression in states, the development and dynamics of Human Rights institutions, how conflict shapes state development, and the role of gender in conflict.
