Colette Mazzucelli (MALD, Tufts/Fletcher; PhD, Georgetown) has taught international relations and ethnic conflicts on faculty at the Center for Global Affairs, NYU, since 2005 and is an Adjunct Associate Professor in Political Science, teaching undergraduate comparative politics, at Hofstra. Her 2009-10 courses, Comparative Politics and International Relations in the Post Cold War Era, both feature extensive use of the Foreign Affairs magazine and website with readings like Shannon O'Neil's "The Real War in Mexico,"and Geoffrey Sloan's "What to Read on Geopolitics." Mazzucelli also incorporates Foreign Affairs audio and video resources, including archived Foreign Affairs LIVE programs.

Mazzucelli acquired a background in technology-mediated learning while teaching at the Institute of Political Studies Paris and the Budapest University of Economic Sciences. As the recipient of Bosch Fellowships, she was assigned to the Foreign Office in Bonn to assist with the ratification of the Treaty on European Union (“Maastricht”), 1992-93, and was in residence at the American Academy in Berlin, spring 2001. Her most recent publications appear in The Ashgate Research Companion to Political Leadership and The EU in the Global Political Economy. Colette’s research interests focus on: 1) leadership and influence in the factional politics of Iranian foreign policy; 2) the relevance of a new strategic concept for NATO to global security challenges, particularly non-proliferation; and 3) the role of education in developing strategies for prevention in areas experiencing post-conflict reconstruction.
