Background

[edit]

Hanhimäki is currently professor and the Chair of the Department of International History and Politics[1] at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, in Geneva. He has previously taught at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His book The Flawed Architect: Henry Kissinger and American Foreign Policy has been acclaimed by his academic peers. In the U.S. media, however, its reception was lukewarm.[2][3] In 2006, Hanhimäki was named Finland Distinguished Professor by the Academy of Finland.[4] He earned his MA, American History (1987) and Ph.D., International History (1993) at Boston University. His BA in History is from Tampere University in 1986.[5]

His articles have appeared in Cold War History, Diplomacy and Statecraft, Diplomatic History, Journal of Transatlantic Studies, Refugee Survey Quarterly, Politique étrangère, and Ulkopolitiikka.[4]

Hanhimäki's most recent books are The Rise and Fall of Detente: American Foreign Policy and the Transformation of the Cold War and, together with Benedikt Schoenborn and Barbara Zanchetta, Transatlantic Relations since 1945: An Introduction. In 2013 he published, together with Bernhard Blumenau, An International History of Terrorism: Western and Non-Western Experiences.
