Martin Kramer

Martin Kramer, Ph.D., is a Senior Fellow at the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University.

On July 10, 2007, Rudolph W. Giuliani announced the "line-up" of his foreign policy team, which included Kramer, Ed Lasky wrote in the American Thinker. Kramer will serve as Senior Middle East Advisor.

"During a twenty-five-year career at Tel Aviv University, he directed the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies. He served twice as a fellow of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington.

"Kramer is the author of the best-selling monograph, Ivory Towers on Sand: The Failure of Middle Eastern Studies in America. He earned his undergraduate and doctoral degrees in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University and another graduate degree from Columbia University." Kramer "has vast experience in the Middle East and is an authority in Islam and Arab Politics. He is also the Wexler-Fromer Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and a senior fellow at the Shalem Center [in Israel]. He is a strong supporter of the American-Israel relationship, which will help Rudy solidify support among supporters of Israel (many of whom are evangelical Christians who are influential in the GOP). He has also been a leader in exposing the increasing politicization in the Middle East Studies Departments on American campuses - a politicization that has led professors to teach from an anti-American and anti-Israel viewpoint," Lasky wrote.
