Goldstein in CSM on Perception of British Royal Family
Erik Goldstein, Professor of International Relations and History at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, discussed how the institution of the British royal family is perceived — both in Britain and around the world.
Goldstein was quoted in a July 27, 2016 article in the Christian Science Monitor, entitled “A British Official Rants Against Prince George. Was That Appropriate?”
From the text of the article:
“The royal family is still relevant because it provides a point of unity,” Erik Goldstein, a professor of international relations and history at Boston University, told The Christian Science Monitor this spring. “They would have to do something deeply unpopular to risk their position because nobody has proposed a viable alternative for the country.”
Goldstein’s research interests include diplomacy, formulation of national diplomatic strategies, the origins and resolution of armed conflict, and negotiation. He has published in numerous journals, including Middle Eastern Studies, Review of International Relations, East European Quarterly, Historical Research, Historical Journal, Byzantine & Modern Greek Studies, and the Hague Journal of Diplomacy.
