Today is my last day as Dean for the Social Sciences at NYU. I am very happy to pass the baton to the amazing Ann Morning. Tomorrow I return to teaching and research full time as the Carroll and Milton Petrie Professor in NYU's Department of Politics.

Bernard’s book had a huge influence on me and he was a great mentor

The traditional Chinese edition of The Decline and Rise of Democracy is out! Many thanks to Gusa Press
