Michele Zebich-Knos, Ph.D.

Home

My names is Michele Zebich-Knos and I am professor of political science at Kennesaw State University (KSU) in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia,  USA.  KSU is part of the University System of Georgia, has 24,000 students, and offers both Master’s and Ph.D. programs.  My research focuses on international environmental policy, Latin American politics, and global regulatory policy.   I am author of numerous publications on environmental policy including “Ecotourism, Park Systems and Environmental Justice in Latin America,” in Environmental Justice in Latin America (MIT Press, 2008); and, “Conflict Avoidance and Environmental Protection: The Antarctic Paradigm,” in Peace Parks: Conservation and Conflict Resolution (MIT Press, 2007).   M. Zebich-Knos and Heather Nicol (Trent University, Canada) are coeditors of Foreign Policy Toward Cuba: Isolation or Engagement? (Lexington Books, 2005).  A new chapter on polar issues that I coauthored with Lassi Heininen (University of Lapland), “Polar Regions – Comparing Arctic and Antarctic Border Debates,” was published in July 2011 in The Ashgate Research Companion to Border Studies.

I currently serve as Director of KSU’s Master of Science in International Policy Managment program.  Read more about this new degree on our MSIPM  webpage.
