Dr. Stacey taught at NYU and Fordham unversities before moving to New Orleans to join the Political Science Department and the Murphy Institute of Political Economy.

Dr. Stacey's research interests were initially related to Europe as a region and international organizations and political economy as issue areas, but in recent years his work has incorporated the regions of Asia and the Middle East and the issue areas of international security and democratization. He has recently published articles on Iraq and Burma, and his book on the European Union will be published later this year by Oxford University Press.
