Background
Graham Henry Stuart (1887-1983) was an American political scientist and a Professor at Stanford University (1923-1952; emeritus
1952-1953). Stuart received his undergraduate degree from Western Reserve University in 1908, after which he travelled to
France and earned degrees from L'Alliance Francaise and L'Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques. Upon his return to the United
States, Stuart enrolled in the University of Wisconsin, earning a Master's degree in 1918 and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1919.
He accepted a teaching offer from Stanford University in 1923, where he taught courses in foreign policy, the Foreign Service,
and International Law. Dr. Stuart's career expanded far beyond Stanford, as he traveled widely and lectured in several U.S.
and European Universities. In 1941, he was invited by the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace to participate in a tour
and study of countries in Latin America.
Stuart's service in the U.S. government began during the Second World War, serving as head economic analyst on the Board of
Economic Warfare and, later, as head of the War History unit of the Department of State. After the war, became an advisor
to the American Minister in Tangier, Morroco. In 1946, he aided the American Minister in preparing the statute for the International
City of Tangier. Following his retirement from Stanford in 1953, Stuart served as a consultant for the Department of State
in a number of capacities, including an advisory role in the Passport Division and serving on the Selection Board of the State
Department.
Stuart published a plethora of books and articles in the field of international relations, foreign policy, the State Department,
and the Foreign Service. His most notable works include Latin America and The United States, American Diplomatic and Consular
Practice, The International City of Tangier, and The Department of State.
