Halperin served in the Johnson, Nixon, Clinton, and Obama administrations. Halperin began his career in academia as a research associate at the Harvard Center for International Affairs (1960–66). He was an instructor in government at Harvard (1961–1963) and an assistant professor of government (1964–1966). He has taught at Harvard University and as a visitor at other universities including Columbia, George Washington University, and Yale. Halperin has served in a number of roles with think tanks, including the Center for American Progress, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Twentieth Century Fund. He was also a senior advisor to the Open Society Foundations. After leaving the Nixon administration, Halperin joined the Brookings Institution as a senior fellow from 1969 to 1973 and then became the research director for the Project on Information, National Security and Constitutional Procedures at the Twentieth Century Fund from 1974 to 1975. He was the director for the Project on National Security and Civil Liberties from 1975 to 1977. Halperin is the author and co-author of 25 books, including Bureaucratic Politics and Foreign Policy. He also wrote Strategy and Arms Control (with Thomas C. Schelling); Limited War in the Nuclear Age; and Contemporary Military Strategy. This publication was expected to be the first in a series tat would result from the Center for Policy Study's year-long examination of China. This work was based on a paper presented at a University of Chicago Center for Policy Study seminar on April 21, 1966, and published in full by the Center in its series of occasional papers. The paper was originally prepared for the Bendix Systems Division for use on Contract AF49(638)–1582, “Problems of U.S. Defense Policy in a World of Nuclear Proliferation.” The views expressed do not necessarily represent those of the Air Force. The author expressed his appreciation to the Center for International Affairs for continuing support of his research. Condition: Fair.
