James D. Morrow is the A.F.K. Organski Collegiate Professor of World Politics and Research Professor at the Center for Political Studies at the University of Michigan. He holds a Ph.D. (1982) and M.A. (1981) from the University of Rochester, and a B.S. (1978) from the California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on theories of international politics, including crisis bargaining, causes of war, military alliances, arms races, power transition theory, and the role of international institutions.
Morrow's research interests span world politics, formal modeling, and research methods. He pioneered the application of noncooperative game theory to international politics, examining how states interact in conflict and cooperation. His work addresses the strategic foundations of international norms, laws of war, and the interplay between domestic politics and foreign policy.
His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on conflict dynamics, game-theoretic approaches to diplomacy, and institutional analysis. Recent works explore treaty negotiations, war decision-making, and equilibrium concepts in game theory, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach combining political science, economics, and legal studies.
