David Andrews,
I will be retiring from Scripps College at the end of the spring 2025 semester.
During academic years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 I will not be teaching or advising students.
Biography
I am a Professor of International Relations at Scripps College where I am also the Gabrielle Marie-Louise Jungels-Winkler Chair in Contemporary European Studies.
I was also the founding director of the European Union Center of California. You can read more about the EU Center of California here.
Academic History
I began my undergraduate education at Amherst College before transferring to UC Santa Cruz where I received a bachelor’s degree in American Studies. I then earned a master’s degree in International Relations from Brigham Young University and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
I was a doctoral research fellow in the National Security and International Affairs Divisions of the Government Accounting Office (GAO) and a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for German and European Studies at Georgetown University.
In addition, and while remaining on the faculty at Scripps College, I have held visiting posts at the following institutions:
- London School of Economics (European Institute)
- University of Southern California (School of International Relations)
- European University Institute (Robert Schuman Center for Advanced Studies)
- Naval Postgraduate School (National Security Affairs Department)
While at Scripps I have served repeatedly on the Faculty Executive Committee, including multiple elections to chair of the committee.
Most recently I served as a representative of FEC on the college’s Presidential Budget Advisory Committee during the pandemic. This afforded me the opportunity to work with other members of the faculty as well as with the college’s administration to preserve the college’s operations during a time of great financial stress.
I have also served in other capacities, including as two 3-year terms as chair of the 7-College Committee on Religious Affairs (CORA).
Courses Taught
At Scripps I have regularly taught courses on international relations, the European Union, and research methods.
I have also occasionally taught courses on a much wider range of topics, including the future of higher education in the United States and what makes democracy work.
Selected Research and Publications
My scholarly interests include Atlantic political, security, and economic relations; the European Union and European integration; and international relations, diplomacy, and statecraft.
My books include The Atlantic Alliance Under Stress: US-European Relations After Iraq (Cambridge University Press), Orderly Change: International Monetary Relations Since Bretton Woods (Cornell University Press), and International Monetary Power (also with Cornell).
Awards and Honors
In 1995 I was appointed a European Union Scholar by the Fulbright Commission. In 2009 I was appointed Jean Monnet Professor of European Union Interdisciplinary Studies by the European Commission. In 2011 I was appointed the the Gabrielle Marie-Louise Jungels-Winkler Chair in Contemporary European Studies by Scripps College.
In addition, I have received the following honors from Scripps College:
Scripps College Faculty Achievement Award for Outstanding Research (awarded for 1994-1995, 2001-2002, 2004-2005, and 2006-7).
