Title. jz6009.e94c76 2011 355'.03354—dc22 2011014830 For Murphy Acknowledgments The field research for this project was possible in large part because of a fellowship from the Fulbright Foundation and because of the cooperation of the nearly eighty ambassadors, military generals, crisis management ex- perts, Commission of‹cials, and think-tank analysts who kindly granted me interviews in 2009. The opportunity to spend so much time talking with these individuals one on one about the work they do opened up an entire world of dialogue, interaction, and persuasion that I have tried to convey in these pages. I also received generous research support from the University of Southern California’s School of International Relations, the Von Kleidsmid Center, the Center for International Studies, the Center on Public Diplomacy, and the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. The EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) also hosted me as a visiting fel- low for three months in 2009. I especially appreciate the feedback I received from Giovanni Grevi while visiting EUISS. Daniel Keohane and Marcin Zaborowski were also very kind to offer their comments on parts of this work. Many other col- leagues gave me their opinions on various aspects of this research, includ- ing Thomas Christiansen, Costas Constantinou, Magnus Ekengren, Jolyon Howorth, Vincent Pouliot, Mark Rhinhard, and four anonymous reviewers. This research has been especially in›uenced by the work of Jeffrey Checkel, Simon Duke, Martha Finnemore, Peter Haas, Jolyon Howorth, Peter Katzenstein, Margaret Keck, Kathleen McNamara, Andrew Moravcsik, Thomas Risse, John Ruggie, Paul Sharp, Kathryn Sikkink, David Spence, Ezra Suleiman, Alexander Wendt, and Geoffrey Wiseman. Ezra Suleiman has been an excellent mentor and has advised me on my career and re- search both during and after my time at Princeton. My wonderful editor at the University of Michigan Press, Melody Herr, viii acknowledgments provided me with excellent advice in the ‹nal stages of revision and took very good care of the manuscript through the whole publication process. Mary Child worked with me on the title of the book and made suggestions for the introduction. Kathryn Simons was of great help with the index. Two students at Colgate University, T. J. Gunerman and Sarah Tilley, performed some of the preliminary research, and at USC, Christina Gray was invalu- able in helping me set up interviews and doing some last-minute back- ground research. Maya Swisa carefully read over the proofs. I began this research while I was an assistant professor at Colgate Uni- versity, and thus I am grateful to Colgate University’s Research Council and to the school’s political science and international relations departments. While at Colgate, I had the opportunity to lead a faculty seminar on epi- stemic communities and was able to invite Peter Haas to come to campus. These discussions helped me shape the framework of this book. At Colgate, I especially thank Stanley Brubaker, Tim Byrnes, Fred Chernoff, Bob Kray- nak, Lyle Roelofs, and Al Yee. My father, Michael C. Davis, a professor himself, has read all of my work in one form or another and is always the ‹rst to point out how I can sharpen my arguments. The ability to brainstorm my ideas with him has been invaluable. My mother, Pamela Davis-Lee, has inspired me with her ideas, ef‹ciency, and passion for what she does, even though it has nothing to do with European security or epistemic communities. Most important, my husband, Robert Cross, has taken care of so much on his own to enable me to go to Europe and write this book. He did everything one could imag- ine—including caring for Murphy and then raising Bailey (our puppy) while recovering from two major surgeries and writing his dissertation—so that I could focus on my work without any burdens. He was the ‹rst person to read this manuscript cover to cover, and he edited my writing with close attention to detail. This book is dedicated to Murphy, my dear golden retriever, who was a constant ‹xture in my life from my days in high school until May 3, 2009. Murphy ›ew to Hong Kong twice and lived with me in New York City, Princeton, Washington, D.C., Upstate New York, and the Los Angeles area. He was the best dog one could imagine. I was in Europe conducting inter- views for this book during his last few months, but my heart was unfail- ingly with him. Contents Introduction 1 chapter 1.
