A. Trevor Thrall Biography
- Trevor Thrall is a scholar and policy expert whose work focuses on international security, political communication, and public opinion. Thrall serves as an associate professor of international security in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University and is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute in the Defense and Foreign Policy department. He holds a doctorate in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where his research examined the relationship between government and the press during major American conflicts.
Thrall's research addresses American attitudes toward foreign policy, the role of arms sales in U.S. foreign policy, and grand strategy. His work has explored presidential threat inflation, public support for missile defense, and the impact of news media changes on U.S. foreign policy. He has also served as director of the Graduate Program in Biodefense at George Mason University, contributing to the field of national security affairs.
Thrall is the author and editor of several books that have contributed to policy debates on American foreign policy. His edited book, "American Foreign Policy and the Politics of Fear: Threat Inflation since 9/11," examines how the Bush administration built public support for the war in Iraq. The companion volume, "Why Did the United States Invade Iraq?," presents competing explanations for the administration's decision to go to war. He is also the coauthor, with John Glaser and Christopher A. Preble, of "Fuel to the Fire: How Trump Made America's Broken Foreign Policy Even Worse (and How We Can Recover)." Thrall has published seven books and edited volumes, numerous academic articles and book chapters, and a range of op-eds and commentaries.
Thrall's articles have appeared in academic journals, and his commentary on foreign affairs has been published in The Atlantic, Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Foreign Policy, Detroit News, Huffington Post, War on the Rocks, and National Interest. He was also the cohost of the "Power Problems" podcast, a biweekly program exploring key questions in international security. Through media appearances, podcasting, and accessible writing, Thrall provides analysis on security challenges and U.S. foreign policy for a broad audience.
