Peter D. Feaver

Peter D. Feaver

Peter D. Feaver is a professor of political science at Duke University and director of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies. He recently returned from a sabbatical in the Bush administration, as a special advisor for strategic planning and institutional reform on the National Security Council.

Feaver earned his Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University and his undergraduate degree from Lehigh University. Feaver also served as Director for Defense Policy and Arms Control at the National Security Council during the Clinton administration. He is also a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve.

Dr Feaver hosted a "Conversation with Karl Rove" at Duke University, North Carolina on Monday 3 December 2007. For an hour he asked a variety of questions, including some submitted by students. By general consent the questions asked were fair and covered a wide range of topics including the 2000 - 2006 campaigns as well as Governor Bush's time in Texas. There were some demonstrators both inside and outside the building, with occasionally minor shouting. One notable issue was when a college Republican stood up to ask a question and prefaced it by denigrating the University of North Carolina and saying that the demonstrators were "not Duke material", even though they had, presumably, passed comparable entry requirements.
