Larry Diamond, a senior fellow at Stanford Universitys Hoover Institution, will deliver a lecture titledCan Iraq Be Stabilized?at 6 p.m. Nov. 27 (Tuesday) in the Hesburgh Center auditorium at the University of Notre Dame.

The talk, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by Notre Dames Kellogg Institute for International Studies and the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.

Diamond will discuss the political implications of the current stalemate in Iraq, and why achieving a national political bargain is vital to stabilizing Iraq and preventing a descent into a much larger and bloodier civil war. In 2004, Diamond served as a senior advisor on governance to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad.

At Stanford, Diamond is professor by courtesy of political science and sociology and the coordinator of the democracy program of the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law within the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He is founding coeditor of the Journal of Democracy.

He is also co-director of the National Endowment for Democracys International Forum for Democratic Studies, which sponsors scholarly research and publications and coordinates an international network of democracy research institutes.

Carr has advised and lectured to the World Bank, United Nations, State Department and other governmental and non-governmental agencies dealing with governance and development. Currently he serves as a member of USAIDs Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid.

He is now lecturing and writing about the challenges of post-conflict state-building in Iraq, and about the challenges of democratic development and democracy promotion worldwide. His bookThe Spirit of Democracy: The Struggle to Build Free Societies Throughout the Worldwill be published in 2008 by Times Books.

While at Notre Dame, Diamond also will deliver a lecture titledThe Globalization of Democracy,at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 27 (Tuesday) in C103 Hesburgh Center.
