Thomas Wright
Executive Director, Studies

Thomas Wright joined The Chicago Council on Global Affairs as its new executive director of studies on August 1, 2008. Previously, Wright served as a senior researcher for the “Princeton Project on National Security,” a multi-year bipartisan project of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He was the principal drafter of the final report titled Forging a World of Liberty Under Law. Widely publicized when released in November 2006, the report unveiled a bipartisan national security strategy for the United States, addressing the most potent threats to U.S. national security throughout the next several decades including: global terror networks, the proliferation and transfer of nuclear weapons, instability in East Asia, the Middle East, global pandemics, and energy.

For the past six years, Wright also has served as the rapporteur for a National Intelligence Council sponsored study group on strategic challenges in an age of American preeminence. He earned his doctorate from Georgetown University in 2007 and was awarded a pre-doctoral fellowship at Harvard University’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. His area of expertise is international relations with a special focus on Europe, and his work has appeared in the American Political Science Review, the Washington Post, and a number of international newspapers and media outlets.
