Trained as an historian of diplomatic history at Rutgers University, Prof. Prisco has published three books and over 100 articles, essays and book reviews on a variety of topics including international affairs, economic history, biography and psychohistory. His research has taken him to Latin America, Europe, China and Japan, and has resulted in many published essays on topics including Nazi "vampire" economics in Latin America, the Quaker influence on President Nixon's China policy; international trade expositions; world's fairs; and economic foreign policy; the witches of Salem; a Jungian interpretation of Andrew Jackson, Adolph Hitler and the Oedipal Complex; the rebelliousness of Francis and Clare of Assisi; and Martin Luther's psychological demons. Forthcoming studies are biographies for the American Council of Learned Societies on historians William L. Langer, Clarence Haring and Mary C. Wright (Oxford University Press). Having been both a Woodrow Wilson and National Endowment for the Humanities fellow (Brown University), Prof. Prisco's current research project is a book-length study tentatively entitled The Pan Americanization of the Monroe Doctrine, an inquiry into collective security, and a hemisphereic free trade association originally proposed before World War I by members of the Pan American Union (today the O.A.S.)
