This year, CFIA launched the Center for International Affairs Working Paper Series, which publishes analytical papers on international matters broadly defined. Through publishing works by authors from Middlebury and elsewhere, the series aims to invigorate research and intellectual life at the College and beyond. CFIA working papers reflect a high level of research quality, and all prospective papers are reviewed double-blind by an outside reader. Each publication in the series is available electronically through the Web site www.middlebury.edu/~cfia/papers/index.html, or as a handsomely bound volume upon request from CFIA. Allison Stanger, director of CFIA and associate professor of political science, is the executive editor of the series; Robert Pekkanen, Luce Junior Fellow in Asian Studies, is the editor.
