The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will host a Directors' Seminar with David Makovsky, Ziegler Distinguished Fellow and Director, Project on the Middle East Peace Process.
David Makovsky is the Ziegler Distinguished Fellow and director of The Washington Institute's Project on the Middle East Peace Process. He is also an adjunct lecturer in Middle Eastern studies at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).
Before joining The Washington Institute, Mr. Makovsky was an award-winning journalist who covered the peace process. He is the former executive editor of the Jerusalem Post and was diplomatic correspondent for Israel's leading daily Haaretz. During that time, Mr. Makovsky became the first journalist writing for an Israeli publication to visit Damascus, the first of five trips to Syria. In March 1995, with assistance from U.S. officials, Mr. Makovsky was given unprecedented permission to file reports from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for an Israeli publication.
Now a contributing editor to U.S. News and World Report, he served for eleven years as the magazine's special Jerusalem correspondent. He was awarded the National Press Club's 1994 Edwin M. Hood Award for Diplomatic Correspondence for a cover story on PLO finances that he co-wrote for the magazine.
Mr. Makovsky is the coauthor with Dennis Ross of Myths, Illusions, and Peace: Finding a New Direction in the Middle East. He is the author or coauthor of a variety of Washington Institute monographs on issues related to the Middle East Peace Process and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Mr. Makovsky also wrote Making Peace with the PLO: The Rabin Government's Road to the Oslo Accord and contributed to a collection focusing on the history of U.S. involvement in the first Gulf war, Triumph without Victory. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and International Institute for Strategic Studies. He received a bachelor's degree from Columbia University and a master's degree in Middle East studies from Harvard University.
