Biography
From 2007 to 2014, Treverton was a Senior Fellow, Stockholm, Sweden.[1] Between 2000 and 2014, he served at the Rand Corporation as the Director for the Center for Global Risk and Security (2009-2014), Director of Intelligence Policy Center (2004-2005), and a senior researcher (2000-2009) at the Rand Corporation.[2] From 1998 to 2000 he served at the Pacific Council on International Policy, as president and before Vice President and Director of Studies.[3] He is currently a member of the Advisory Board at the Oxford Analytica,[4]
Treverton graduated summa cum laude with an A.B. from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University in 1969 after completing a 181-page-long senior thesis titled "Politics and Petroleum: The International Petroleum Company in Peru."[5]
He received an M.P.P. from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1972 and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1975 after completing a doctoral dissertation titled "Managing the politics and economics of alliance: the balance of payments and American forces in Germany."[6] [7]
Treverton was one of the 51 former U.S. intelligence officials who signed the October 19, 2020, letter that said the Hunter Biden laptop story "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."[8] It was in fact revealed the laptop contained no evidence of Russian disinformation, and portions of its contents have been verified as authentic.[9]
In 2021, Treverton was implicated in a dispute with Oxford University Press and a former graduate student regarding his 2015 book National Intelligence and Science: Beyond the Great Divide in Analysis and Policy. Oxford University Press found that Treverton had plagiarized a substantial portion of a chapter in his book from white papers by the graduate student, who was eventually named a co-author of the chapter.[10] [11]
