Professor of Political Science. He has served on the faculty
at Brown University since 1970. Professor Zuckerman received a B.A. (1966)
from Brooklyn College (CUNY), and his M.A. (1968) and Ph.D. (1971) from
Princeton University.
His scholarship has focused on the analytical principles
of comparative politics; the social context of political preferences, choice,
and behavior; the individual and the state in established democracies;
and the political structure of small groups. He applies diverse methodologies
in his work, including field work, abstract analyses, and statistical techniques.
Professor Zuckerman is the author, coauthor and co-editor
of several books, including The Politics of Faction: Christian Democratic
Rule in Italy; The Transformation of the Jews; Doing Political Science;
Comparative Politics: Rationality, Culture, and Structure; and Politics
in Italy: Emerging Themes and Institutional Responses. He has published
numerous articles in the leading journals of political science, as well
as monographs in the United States, Britain, Italy, Germany, Austria, and
Israel on topics as diverse as the Holocaust, the political cohesion of
households, political cleavages, the determinants of political preferences,
voting in Israel, the comparative historical analysis of Jewish communities,
party factions in Italy and Israel, and party identification. On June 2-4,
2002, he hosted a conference at Brown University on The Social Context
of Politics, which will become an edited volume. The essays will cover
theory, substance, and method.
His honors include serving on the faculty at Tel-Aviv
University (Visiting Professor and Fulbright Professor); the University
of Pisa (Fulbright Fellow); the University of Florence (Visiting Professor);
and service on the editorial board of the series in Comparative Politics
of the University of Michigan Press.
