Paul Midford

I am a professor of Political Science and Director of the NTNU Japan Program at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. I write about Japan's foreign and security policies, including the influence of public opinion and domestic politics on those policies, and East Asian international relations. Energy security and renewable energy in Japan, East Asia, and Scandinavia are another area I write about. I received my PhD. in Political Science from Columbia University in 2001, and have published in International Organization, International Studies Quarterly, Security Studies, The Pacific Review, Asian Survey, International Relations of the Asia Pacific, and Japan Forum.
