Norman Stone

The Director of the Russian-Turkish Centre, Norman Stone, born in Glasgow in 1941, has been Professor of International Relations at Bilkent University, Ankara, since 1997. He was previously (after 1984) Professor of Modern History at Oxford, and before then (after 1965) Lecturer in Russian and German History at Cambridge where, latterly, he was a Fellow of Trinity College. His undergraduate education occurred at Cambridge (1959-62) but his graduate work was done on Central European History, in Vienna and Budapest (1962-65). His principal publications are The Eastern Front 1914-1917 (1975) which won the Wolfson Prize, Hitler (1980), Europe Transformed 1878-1919 (1983), all of which are still in print (Penguin, Hodder-Coronet and Blackwell, respectively). A further book, The Atlantic Revival 1970-1990, will be published in 2003 by Random House (it is centred upon the 1980's). He intends thereafter to work on various aspects of the Russo-Turkish relationship, past and present. He has been a frequent commentator, since 1985, in British press, and has also written for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Wall Street Journal.
