Stephanie Neuman was the Director of the Comparative Defense Studies Program and a Senior Research Scholar at the Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. She was also an Adjunct Professor in the School of International and Public Affairs. Neuman specialized in what was at the time referred to as “Third World” security issues, that is, the defense and security problems of countries that were non-aligned with the superpowers during the Cold War. Her research interests included war and conflict in the Global South, defense planning and security policies of developing countries, the politics of defense industrial production, and the international arms trade. Neuman taught at both the United States Military Academy and the New School for Social Research and served as a Senior Fulbright Research Scholar in Sweden. She received a B.A. from Connecticut College and an M.A. and Ph.D. from New York University.
