Seth Kaplan, Professorial Lecturer, SAIS, Johns Hopkins University
Seth D. Kaplan is a leading expert on fragile states. He is a Professorial Lecturer in the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University, Senior Adviser for the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), and consultant to multilateral organizations such as the World Bank, U.S. State Department, U.S. Agency for International Development, and OECD as well as developing country governments and NGOs.
He is author of “Fragile Neighborhoods,” a book that offers a bold new vision for addressing social decline in America, one zip code at a time. By revitalizing our social ties – and the local institutions that knit them together – Kaplan writes that we can turn all our neighborhoods into places where people and families thrive.
