Anthony Marcum

Anthony Marcum is a Lecturer IV and Coordinator of Experiential, Independent, & Honors Education at the University of Michigan's Program in International and Comparative Studies (PICS). He holds affiliations with the Donia Human Rights Center (DHRC), Center for Japanese Studies (CJS), and the International Institute. His academic background includes a PhD from the University of Maryland (2015), MA from Purdue University (2005), and BA from Wright State University (2003).

Dr. Marcum's research focuses on peace/security dynamics in world politics, including military occupations, postwar politics, and autocratic accountability mechanisms. His current projects explore how occupying powers shape postwar stability and the 'Logic of Political Accountability' (LPA) theory, which examines how autocrats maintain power through coalition management. He is developing manuscripts on military occupation outcomes (1815–2003) and autocratic secrecy in war initiation.

His work bridges international relations theory with empirical analysis, addressing topics like coups, crisis deception, and accountability structures across regimes. Dr. Marcum's interdisciplinary approach integrates political science methodologies with case studies of modern and historical conflicts.

Affiliated with multiple centers, he contributes to global studies education through PICS and DHRC initiatives. No specific grants or advising details are provided in available texts.
