Notes on Contributors
Dean A. Cook has spent more than a year in Colombia in support of
America’s counterdrug efforts since 1998. Mr. Cook has also been a
military instructor in the Department of Political Science at the U.S.
Naval Academy, and was a 1999–2000 fellow in the Director of Central
Intelligence’s Exceptional Intelligence Analyst Program. He received his
Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics from the U.S. Air Force
Academy in 1994, and a Master’s in Public Policy from Harvard
University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government in 1996.
Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr. retired from the Navy in 1989.
During a 47-year military career, Admiral Crowe commanded U.S.
forces in the Middle East, was the commander in chief of NATO forces
in Southern Europe, and headed the nation’s largest geographical mili-
tary operation—the U.S. Pacific Command. After retirement, he served
as U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James in London. A graduate of
the U.S. Naval Academy, Admiral Crowe received a master’s degree in
education from Stanford University and a master’s and doctorate in
politics from Princeton University.
Christopher J. Fettweis received his Ph.D. from the University of
Maryland, College Park. His doctoral work dealt with the future of
major war, in both the theory and practice of international politics. He
has taught courses on U.S. foreign policy at the U.S. Naval Academy
and George Washington University. His current research focuses on the
emergence of U.S. foreign policy toward the Caucasus and Central Asia
in the wake of Soviet collapse.
Gregg Garbesiserved in a variety of Navy operational billets as a surface
warfare officer. While at the Pentagon, he was the primary Navy plan-
ner for the Dynamic Commitment QDR 2001 war game series. In this
capacity, he interacted extensively with the geographic combatant
commanders over an 18-month period to model contingency res-
ponseand Navy force allocations. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy,
he received a Master’s in political science from Stanford University.
