Education
Krasner was born on February 15, 1942, in New York City.[5] He was raised in Manhattan.[6] He received his bachelor's degree from the Department of History at Cornell University in 1963, where he was a member of the Quill and Dagger society. He earned his master's degree from Columbia University. In 1972, he completed his PhD at Harvard University.[6] He did his PhD dissertation on the international coffee market.[6] At Harvard University, he was influenced by Albert Hirschman.[6]
Career
Before coming to Stanford University in 1981, Krasner taught at Harvard University and University of California, Los Angeles. He was the editor of International Organization from 1986 to 1992.[7][6]
Krasner is the author of six books and over ninety articles. He has taught courses on international relations, international political economy, international relations theory, policy making, and state-building at Stanford University. He received a dean's award for excellence in teaching in 1991. At Stanford University, Krasner has been an advisor to Daniel Drezner[8] and
Krasner was a key figure in establishing regime theory as a prominent topic of study in IR, in part through the 1983 edited collection International Regimes.[9][10] Krasner is a key figure in the development of hegemonic stability theory.[2][11] Krasner was influenced by Robert Gilpin.[6]
He has written extensively about statehood and sovereignty.
Krasner is credited with incorporating the idea of punctuated equilibrium into the social sciences and contributing to critical juncture theory.[12]
Krasner is a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution.
Krasner was named Director of Policy Planning in the State Department by his former Stanford University colleague Condoleezza Rice.[6]
In 2020, Krasner, along with over 130 other former Republican national security officials, signed a statement that asserted that President Trump was unfit to serve another term, and "To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him."[13]
