The Congress of Berlin by Anton Werner

Introduction: Read this First

 Welcome to my website. My name is Konstantinos Travlos, PhD and I am Political Science Instructor at the Social Sciences Department at Great Basin College at Elko, Nevada



As a scholar I focus on international relations and specifically  international conflict. I am a believer in the use of multiple methodologies when we wish to evaluate the empirical strength of an argument (or as a lay-person would say, whether it is true), even if right now I am focusing on mastering large-n quantitative methods. 


I gained my PhD in December 2013 from the Department of Political Science at the Univeristy of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the mentoring of Dr. John Vasquez and Dr. Paul F. Diehl.

Fellow Scholars!

I am currently working on a EU funded research project on competitive arming in the Greece-Turkey and Greece-Ottoman Empire dyads (headed by Dr. Ioannis Nioutsikos).

I am also working on a couple of articles for the centennial of the Greece-Turkey War of 1919-1922, as a follow up on my edited volume "Salvation and Catastrophe: The Greek-Turkish War 1919-1922"  published in 2020 by Lexington Books. Three articles in Turkish have been published or will be published at Toplusam Tarih, while me and my co-authors have a forthcoming article at The European Journal of Humor Research. 

Finally, I am working on expanding the data for my long-term project on the impact of Managerial Coordination on international politics.


By selecting one of the pages of this site you can access an up to date version of my CV, information about my research interests and output, information about classes I have taught and are teaching, and abstracts of papers I have sent out for publication or presented at professional conferences. This website, like my career is still pretty much a work in progress and new things and information will be added in future dates (such as access to data used in publications, syllabi from courses etc).
