An expert on strategic analysis in foreign affairs, U.S. politics, security, and military matters, University of New Haven Associate Professor of National Security and Political Science Matthew Schmidt, Ph.D., has taught strategic and operational planning at the Army’s Command and General Staff College, consulted on doctored maps of a downed Russian jet with the Senate Arms Services Committee, been a representative to Ukraine’s post-revolution presidential election, and visiting professor of stability operations at the Army War College. Dr. Schmidt was also named #22 on Fast Company’s list of the 100 most creative people in America for his work bringing design techniques from architecture into military planning.
An expert on defense and intelligence, Russia, Ukraine, Vladimir Putin, Europe, and U.S. foreign policy in North Korea and elsewhere, he also was part of the core team on the Project on National Security Reform, an initiative sponsored by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, which recommended major reforms to the U.S. intelligence and national security community after 9/11. His work has given him deep insight into the political dynamics of these issues. He is the co-host of Impolitic, a podcast that examines current issues in politics, national security and international affairs.
See MoreDr. Schmidt wrote one of the most widely-cited articles on the philosophy called "Eurasianism," to explain Putin’s strategic thinking. He argued in the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs that "Putin Was the First Alt-President: How the New U.S. Administration Needs to Think about Russia" and that this helps frame his relationship to the U.S. (and to Trump) and is a key to understanding his policy to make Russia a resurgent Great Power.
Dr. Schmidt’s work encompasses the intersection of national politics and foreign policy, where he’s done extensive commentary on the U.S. political system. His childhood on a diary in Kansas and family involvement in politics, and his experience with divided political systems overseas has made him a go-to source on understanding American political polarization.
Dr. Schmidt’s recent interviews include Yahoo! Finance, Washington Times, and an op-ed in Fortune, "The Capitol insurrectionists and ISIS have a lot in common." He holds a Ph.D. from Georgetown.
