Short Biography

Bruce D. Jones, Ph.D. (born 1969) is an academic, an author and policy analyst. He is Deputy Director of the Foreign Policy program and Director of the Project on International Order and Strategy at the Brookings Institution. He is also a consulting professor at the Freeman Spogli Institute at Stanford University and chair of the advisory council of the Center on International Cooperation at New York University. Jones’ research focuses primarily on U.S. policy on global order; the global order policies of the emerging powers; global governance and multilateral reform, including such issues as G8/G20 and UN Security Council reform; and international conflict management, peacekeeping, and post-conflict operations. His most recent book, Still Ours to Lead: America, Rising Powers, and the Tension between Rivalry and Restraint, examines the tension between the impulse to rival the U.S.A and the incentives for restraint and cooperation among the rising powers. Under Jones, the Center on International Cooperation has developed into one of the most influential think-tanks working on conflict and security, climate change, fragile states, peacebuilding, mediation, and global threats and challenges.
